Oshino Village in Yamanashi Prefecture



Oshino village is famous for its eight spring water ponds called Oshino-Hakkai which is a popular tourist destination in the Fuji Five Lakes region.


These eight ponds are spring-fed by water running down from Mt. Fuji, and have long been revered as 'springs of the Gods.'

I've been to the Fuji Five Lakes region several times, but It's my first visit to the village.

Though it was cloudy, we could see skirts of Mt. Fuji, beautiful ponds and its water grass.
