Our tour guide, Lucas, was very kind and knowledgeable. There was a slight delay at the start because one guest didn’t show up, but he handled the situation very well and it wasn’t a big deal. We were lucky to see Mt. Fuji on a perfect day—no clouds in the sky and everything was crystal clear. It was such a wonderful experience!! ✨

Erik was our tour guide and he was amazing! he toured and guided us well during this day trip. he’s also very accommodating. we’ve had previous tours in Japan before but this is the first time we actually had an English speaking tour guide which made it easier for us to understand the details and history that the tour guide shared.

Arpan explained everything very thoroughly! The only downside was that the clouds were too thick today and blocked Mount Fuji. 🥹

What to know about Oshino Hakkai

Located in the Fuji Five Lakes region, Oshino Hakkai is known for its eight stunning ponds, each with its own unique allure, located in the small village of Oshino. These ponds, like Deguchi Pond, Okama Pond, Waku Pond, and more, were actually formed from a dried-up sixth lake centuries ago. The ponds at Oshino Hakkai are filled with crystal-clear water from Mount Fuji's melted snow, where you can even take a sip straight from the source! Each mirror pond is filled with freshwater plants and sizable fish, making it a fascinating spot to explore. As you wander around, you'll come across charming restaurants, cute souvenir shops, and tempting food stalls selling local goodies like veggies, sweets, and crafts. The aroma of roasted sweet potatoes and rice crackers grilling in the open air adds to the delightful atmosphere.
