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.

The tour was fun and informative. We missed the full view of Mt. Fuji but the tour was overall fun. Evita is also very informative and easy to approach. We will surely take the same tour next time. hopefully with Evita again.

Easy way to see multiple spots for your IG. Hit and miss if you'll get the shots as the tour can't control the weather. Our tour guide Jay tried to keep the tour moving to squeeze in all the spots in the allotted time. If the weather cooperated and the sakura was blooming it would have been even better.

Our tour guide was Zhan Jie. We thank him for introducing the attractions in detail during the trip, sharing some interesting stories, and recommending things to buy and eat during the trip. Since I would leave the team at the terminal, he was very responsible in telling me how to get to the next stop and helped me communicate with the taxi driver so that I could reach the next stop quickly.

This is the fuss free tour to join if you want to catch the highlights of Hakone and Mt Fuji. The Owakudani ropeway can be quite a queue during super peak hanami season but a bus ride saves the day adjourning to the Lake Yamanaka with flocks of swan. The journey ended with a glimpse of Mt Fuji from the world heritage village Oshino Hakkai though I’m not lucky this round again to have a clear view of Mt Fuji. A picture of the crystal clear pond water won’t do justice, you have to see it with your own eyes. The guide Kai is simply friendly and amazing, making sure that my booking is secured and reminded us the night before. Your holiday to Tokyo won’t be complete without visiting Hakone and Mt Fuji, Gogoday Tour makes it easy peasy

Despite of the rainy weather this tour was still great and scenic, being well planned and organized. My heartiest big thank you to our guide Mr. Liang who was very kind and patient to all the group members and specifically me, I got lost in the meeting points twice. The hike to the pagoda was worth the view as well as the village where you can try melted mountain water and buy great souvenirs. Highly recommend this tour and gonna go again next time I’m in Tokyo.

Mount Fuji Views
Oshino Hakkai offers some of the most breathtaking views of Mount Fuji. Whether you're strolling around the ponds or exploring the village, the majestic peak of Japan's highest mountain provides a stunning backdrop that is perfect for photography and relaxation.
Hannoki Bayashi Shiryokan
This open-air museum showcases old farming tools and samurai weapons. It also offers the best views of Mount Fuji from Sokonashi-ike. The museum charges a small entrance fee and is open from 9 AM to 5 PM.
Kaneyama Waterfall
Flowing from the Katsura River with water from Lake Yamanaka and Oshino Hakkai, the falls are surrounded by lava formations from Mt. Fuji. Standing at 10 meters high, they mirror the vibrant scenery all year round. In spring, you are greeted by mitsuba-tsutsuji blossoms, while autumn showcases vivid Japanese maple leaves. Tucked in a secluded spot, the falls offer a refreshing coolness even in the heat of summer.
Tips for Your Oshino Hakkai Visit
When is the best time to visit Oshino Hakkai?
The best times to visit Oshino Hakkai Village are during the spring and autumn months when the weather is mild and the scenery is at its most beautiful. Spring brings cherry blossoms, while autumn offers vibrant fall foliage.
How to get to Oshino Hakkai?
Oshino Hakkai is accessible by bus from nearby towns such as Fujiyoshida and Kawaguchiko. For those traveling from Tokyo, taking a train to Otsuki Station or Shinjuku Station and then a bus to Oshino Hakkai is a convenient option. From Tokyo, take a highway bus from the bus stop to Kawaguchiko Station. From there, local buses or the Fujikko tourist bus can take you to Oshino Hakkai in Oshino Mura. Alternatively, you can rent a car, but ensure you have a valid international driver's license.
