• Oshino Hakkai - Oshino Hakkai (忍野八海) is a set of eight touristy ponds in Oshino, a small village in the Fuji Five Lake region, located between Lake Kawaguchiko and Lake Yamanakako. These ponds are fed by snowmelt from the slopes of nearby Mount Fuji, which filters down the mountain through porous layers of lava for over 80 years, resulting in very clear spring water revered by the locals.

Next to one pond, visitors can drink the cool water straight from the source. The ponds are quite deep and feature interesting freshwater plant life and large fish. Although the ponds have been developed into tourist attractions and can become quite crowded, they maintain a pleasant atmosphere as long as you do not expect untouched nature.
