According to Japanese folklore, eating just one of Hakone's famous black eggs (kuro-tamago) adds 7 years to your life. 
These iconic eggs are cooked in the volcanic hot springs of Owakudani, where sulfur- and iron-rich waters naturally turn the shell jet black through a chemical reaction. 
Don't worry, the inside looks and tastes just like a regular hard-boiled egg. Only the shell changes!
Locals have believed in their lucky, life-extending powers for generations... although tradition says you probably shouldn't eat more than two at once. 
So, would you try one?
Would you take the legendary 7 extra years, or play it safe? Tell us in the comments, and tag the friend you'd bring to Hakone!
