- What to expect
-
Nestled in the Fuji Five Lake region between Lake Yamanaka and Lake Kawaguchi, Oshino Hakkai is a popular tourist destination known for its eight scenic ponds. These ponds are fed by the pure snowmelt from Mount Fuji's slopes, which gradually filters through porous lava layers over 80 years. The result is exceptionally clear spring water, cherished by the locals for its pristine quality. Some Japanese traditional foods and sweets are available. ( Soba noodles, grilled fish skewers, mochi dumplings, etc.)
