    Oshino Hakkai (忍野八海) is a group of eight clear spring ponds located in the village of Oshino, between Lake Kawaguchiko and Lake Yamanakako in the Fuji Five Lakes area. These ponds were formed on the site of a former lake that dried up centuries ago. They are fed by melted snow from Mount Fuji, which takes over 80 years to filter through volcanic lava layers. The result is pure, clear spring water, highly valued by local residents.
