Oshino Hakkai

The water here comes from the melted snow of Mount Fuji, which seeps into the ground and then gushes out, so it is very clear and clean. You can clearly see the fish swimming in the pond; if you watch from a distance, the pond reflects the blue sky and surrounding scenery like a mirror, and when paired with Mount Fuji, it is very beautiful to take photos, so there are many tourists here. #Mount Fuji If you want to avoid the tourist crowds a bit, you can arrive at Oshino Hakkai earlier and visit the pond that does not require a ticket first, then buy a ticket to visit the Deba Pond located in the museum when the museum opens at 9 o'clock (adult ticket is 300 yen). In addition, the exit pool, which is the largest among the eight seas, is farther away, 15 minutes away from the other seven seas, so it has fewer tourists and is quieter. #Oshino Hakka Of course, you can come here not only to enjoy the beautiful scenery and take your favorite photos. There are many restaurants and souvenirs to choose from beside the artificial pond. You may also want to try the tofu made with the spring water here and other delicious Japanese snacks.
