  Oshino Hakkai is a traditional village famous for its eight crystal-clear ponds, fed by snowmelt from Mt. Fuji that has been naturally filtered through volcanic rock.

Fuji and create postcard-worthy scenery. Designated as a national natural monument, Oshino Hakkai blends cultural charm with natural wonder, offering a peaceful yet striking contrast to the mountain’s grandeur and making it an essential stop on any Mt. Fuji itinerary.
