Oshino Hakkai
Scenic spot
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.

very good tour led by Will. took great shorts for us when requested and shared on the must-do’s at every attraction. at one point, we got lost looking for the bus after Oshino, but he guided us to finding the bus and did not leave us behind. it rained in the second half of the tour and we had to make a torturous hike back to the bus from the watch shops street. and there was no sight of the Fuji snow capped mountain on this day which was unfortunate. thanks for the stickers at the end of tour.

We joined the tour led by tri-lingual tour guide Bian Rong Hu. He is well-versed in Chinese, Korean and Japanese so he was able to share the historical stories of each attraction well by relating them to the different cultures. The tour was fun and well-planned albeit bad weather (raining throughout) that kind of ruin the experience. would love to return on days where the weather turn much better!

The tour was great. The Japanese guide was lovely and took good care of us. Mr. Kousei in particular was very friendly. The restaurant they took us to was delicious. There were many choices of beef, chicken, and fish.

Even though I applied late the day before, they contacted me right away and I had a fun tour~^^ I toured the Mt. Fuji area comfortably and fulfillingly, and I felt like I was on a group tourㅎㅎ Especially thanks to our guide Haruka, I was able to travel very comfortably. I felt like she was considerate like a friendly older sister, and it was nice that she even told me about great restaurants. (She even lent me a spare battery, I was really grateful..!) Especially if it's your first time to Mt. Fuji, I highly recommend this tour without getting lost~^^
