That place sure stinks. I think when you eat too much, the smell you're emanating slowly kills you. :bleh:

eeeh...? aren't black eggs just an egg from a type of duck kept in lime in a pH around 11.5 for a long time so they become kinda jelly-ish? :hehe: . or is it different?

For 2 person, with room and 2 meals. The first one wasn't so bad. Around 32,000‰~. Breakfast was a buffet. The second one was around 67,000‰~ tho. The room was 3x bigger and had a private outdoor bath. Guess that was part of the price too. I wouldn't spend a week there, but for one day, I guess it's not too bad. I checked the menu a little and meals started at 12,000‰~. :bleh: At that price, you don't fill up on rice.

Interesting info. Yeah we spent 2 days and 1 night in Hakone...that was enough for me...I'm too much of a city slicker to want to stay much longer than that.

If you guys want like nice spread, I think I have a few takoyaki spread pix to share. :P

LOL. Takoyaki spread...with sauce, katsuboshi, and aonori :hehe:

It was a bit overkill...but that food was shared among six people :P Thank goodness I had a light lunch of salmon and rice eight hours before dinner started.

Nice meal. :mrgreen:

Actually spent not much more time than you. We arrived late the first day. Just slept and took onsen. Visited the next day and slept there again and leaved early morning for Tokyo. Nice to relax and all, but I wouldn't spend a week there too. ;)

The fish was good, but not much meat in it actually.

For the egg, it's chicken egg. The shell is really hard like regular boiled egg. It's just cooked in onsen water instead of regular water. I guess the color comes from the reaction with something in the water. That or maybe it's because naked salariman are sitting on them, in the water. Never saw one hatch tho. :P

So Azuma Kazma is a joint you recommend huh? I'll have to check it out as I said.

i do, i always get the same waiter dude. so i ask him which of the sakes they currently have is good, and he's usually pretty good.

the beef teriyaki plates are good and will feed me at least twice.. i like the grilled saba too, haven't tried enough of the tapas, but the ones i did try are good.
