Oshino Hakkai
Tourist attraction
Located in the Fuji Five Lakes region, Oshino Hakkai is known for its eight stunning ponds, each with its own unique allure, located in the small village of Oshino. These ponds, like Deguchi Pond, Okama Pond, Waku Pond, and more, were actually formed from a dried-up sixth lake centuries ago. The ponds at Oshino Hakkai are filled with crystal-clear water from Mount Fuji's melted snow, where you can even take a sip straight from the source! Each mirror pond is filled with freshwater plants and sizable fish, making it a fascinating spot to explore. As you wander around, you'll come across charming restaurants, cute souvenir shops, and tempting food stalls selling local goodies like veggies, sweets, and crafts. The aroma of roasted sweet potatoes and rice crackers grilling in the open air adds to the delightful atmosphere.

Highly recommended! tour guide Amanda was friendly and cheerful throughout the trip. She explained to us the itinerary and told us where to go to take beautiful photos of Mount Fuji and Lake Kawaguchiko. She also bought us mochi ice cream as a gesture to introduce us to the culture of Japan. We managed to get an amazing view of Mount Fuji and even stopped by the famous Lawson at that area.

The tour went very smooth. We were able to go each place without any hassle. Ma Li, the tour guide, was very fun and considerate. She even gave a cute souvenir for us. 10/10 for the experience.

This was my second visit to Tokyo, so I signed up for a tour to see Mt. Fuji, which I had never been to before, and I think it was a really, really good decision. If you travel to Tokyo with your family, it will be a great memory, so I recommend you come at least once. And isn't the best part of a tour the guide?!? Our Wonyang guide!!! You speak Korean fluently, and what's your gag code??? Why did you make me laugh so much? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ You are so kind and explain things really well! Today is a Japanese holiday and the weekend, so there were so many people, and the roads were so congested that I thought I wouldn't be able to go to the restaurant I had made a reservation for dinner, but it was a restaurant that didn't accept cancellations ㅠㅠ I don't even speak Japanese, so what should I do? The cancellation fee is 100%, so I was at a loss... But Wonyang guide is really fluent in Japanese, so she's awesome...... She even called me directly to cancel my reservation, so I'm so grateful and I don't know what to do...ㅎ You're really the best!! I'm so lucky to have met Wonyang guide!! Just lucky Vicky, today's weather is lucky Vicky, I was worried because it rained the day before, but the weather is really nice today!!! I saw Mt. Fuji without a single cloud!!! I really felt like I saw it without any regrets~~ Anyway, I'm happy that I left with good memories🫶🏻🫶🏻 Thank you for the great tour.

The tour guide was very kind and efficient in leading the tour. Because the traffic jam on the road affected the entire trip, the tour guide still tried his best to arrange for us to go to almost every scenic spot to achieve the highest CP value.
