Oshino Hakkai
Tourist attraction
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.

The view points were amazing. During the whole tour, it somehow felt like we were at the right place at the right time, thanks to the great tour route. Our guide, Chow was very friendly, making an enjoyable environment, even for those who went alone like myself. I was able to enjoy the whole Hakone experience, including Mt. Fuji as well. 10 out of 10!

This was a nice tour. It was a good overview of the Mt. Fuji area and we really enjoyed it. I would suggest that the GoGo Tours guides add a sign with their name on it. There were several of them at the meetup location and it was harder than it should be to find the right group.

The trip is easy. Met up in the meeting point, started on schedule. Nice weather in the morning but kinda gloomy in the afternoon. Still a nice trip. My guide was Feng. She was very attentive and explained the itinerary and places thoroughly. Also very effortlessly funny haha

Thanks to the Klook Mt. Fuji tour, I had a great day. The guide, Wonyang, was kind and took great pictures. All the points I visited, including the convenience store, Tenty Town, and Oshino Hakkai, were really photo spots! It was really convenient to be able to pick up and drop off by bus without any stress and just take pictures. It seems like it would be great to go with friends and parents~ The price is so cheap that you'll be surprised. Definitely go~^^

Kaneyama Waterfall
Flowing from the Katsura River with water from Lake Yamanaka and Oshino Hakkai, the falls are surrounded by lava formations from Mt. Fuji. Standing at 10 meters high, they mirror the vibrant scenery all year round. In spring, you are greeted by mitsuba-tsutsuji blossoms, while autumn showcases vivid Japanese maple leaves. Tucked in a secluded spot, the falls offer a refreshing coolness even in the heat of summer.
Tips for Your Oshino Hakkai Visit
When is the best time to visit Oshino Hakkai?
The best times to visit Oshino Hakkai Village are during the spring and autumn months when the weather is mild and the scenery is at its most beautiful. Spring brings cherry blossoms, while autumn offers vibrant fall foliage.
How to get to Oshino Hakkai?
Oshino Hakkai is accessible by bus from nearby towns such as Fujiyoshida and Kawaguchiko. For those traveling from Tokyo, taking a train to Otsuki Station or Shinjuku Station and then a bus to Oshino Hakkai is a convenient option. From Tokyo, take a highway bus from the bus stop to Kawaguchiko Station. From there, local buses or the Fujikko tourist bus can take you to Oshino Hakkai in Oshino Mura. Alternatively, you can rent a car, but ensure you have a valid international driver's license.
