Owakudani has been opened to the public since 9:00 on July 26, 2016. This is the time-limited opening. The opening hours are from 9:00 to 17:00. No one allowed to enter the region from 17:00 to 9:00 on the next day.

Kuro Tamago Kan is OK.

Hakone Ropeway should be OK (at the time of writing, closed due to thunders).

Owakudani is now open to the public, and the rope way is fully operational now, though I believe the rope way has its scheduled maintenance shutdown. Of course during the day only. The hiking trails are now open too.

AK, do you mean the hiking trails became open to the public recently? At least on 17 Apr 2017, the hiking trails were still closed.

Luisjp,
Sorry if I was mistaken, but the map you showed seem to have red lines for hiking trails all over, and you said red lines were closed , so just wanted to note that it is not that all these red lines were closed.
