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.

I recently went on a day trip to Mount Fuji with Erina as our tour guide, and it was an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, Erina was incredibly insightful and thoughtful, making the entire day feel both engaging and memorable. She shared fascinating facts about the mountain’s history, culture, and significance, and her passion for the area was evident in every story she told. Her attention to detail and willingness to answer all of our questions made the trip feel personalized and unique.
The scenery was breathtaking, and Erina's guidance ensured we made the most of every stop, whether it was capturing the perfect view of Mount Fuji or exploring hidden gems along the way. I truly appreciated how she took the time to make sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the day.
I highly recommend Erina as a tour guide to anyone visiting Mount Fuji – her knowledge, warmth, and dedication made the trip an absolute highlight of my travel! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
