Create an itinerary including Oshino Hakkai
Once a sacred cleansing site for those attempting to conquer Mt. Fuji, Oshino Hakkai features a sprawling set of eight ponds fed by snow melting from the nearby mountain. Meander your way by the water's edge, enjoying the occasional glimpse of colorful fish and plant life dwelling in the depths. Gaining popularity in recent years, the area has developed to offer restaurants, souvenir shops, and street food vendors tempting visitors with delicious osenbei rice crackers. Near the largest pond, you can explore an open-air museum, home to a traditional thatch-roof farmhouse and rare pieces of samurai armor.

  • As a part of our tour package. We visited in afternoon. Nice walking tour on old path and village. Loved to see some ponds full of fish and crystal water. There are some local shops selling drinks...

  • What should I say about this place... it's scenic, beautiful, peaceful, refreshing....I loved this place !! There is a souvenir shop too. All things are cute, pretty and affordable !! We had a fresh mochi (150¥each) it was really delicious !! There is a public washroom. The parking lot is also there. Lots of vending machines too. Highly recommended
  • Beautiful little village of lovely deep ponds of snowmelt. Great view of Mt Fuji on a clear day. Overall it is very much a tourist spot with plenty of local souvenirs and snacks, including roadside grilled fish. Parking area is a short level walk outside of the village centre. Outdoor areas dog friendly.
