Oshino Hakkai is a scenic area consisting of eight beautiful spring-water ponds located in Oshino Village at the foot of Mt. Fuji, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The crystal-clear waters originate from melted snow on Mt. Fuji, which filters through underground lava layers over many years before emerging. Revered as sacred by locals, these pristine ponds are surrounded by traditional Japanese houses with thatched roofs and lush natural landscapes, offering visitors a glimpse of classic Japanese scenery. Around the ponds, visitors can find cozy shops and restaurants offering local delicacies, including soba noodles and sweets made from Mt. Fuji's spring water. With breathtaking views of Mt. Fuji and authentic Japanese charm, Oshino Hakkai is a popular destination attracting many international travelers.
