Oshino Hakkai (忍野八海) is a touristy set of eight ponds in Oshino, a small Edo period Japanese village in the Fuji Five Lake region, located between Lake Kawaguchiko and Lake Yamanakako on the site of a former sixth lake that dried out several hundred years ago. The eight ponds are fed by snow melt from the slopes of nearby Mount Fuji that filters down the mountain through porous layers of lava for over 80 years, resulting in very clear spring water that is revered by the locals.
Next to one pond, visitors can drink the cool water straight from the source. The ponds are quite deep and have interesting freshwater plant life and large fish. Although the ponds have been developed into tourist attractions and can become quite crowded with visitors, they have a pleasant atmosphere as long as you do not expect untouched nature.
You will find many restaurants, souvenir shops, and food vendors around the ponds which sell vegetables, sweets, pickles, crafts, and other local products. Some operate small outdoor grills to attract shoppers with the alluring smells of roasted sweet potato and toasted rice crackers (osenbei).

It was delightful to see the cultural uniqueness and remarkable artistic qualities of the Edo period. Much of Japanese culture that has attracted attention from around the world was born during the Edo period. Even the fundamentals of Japanese cuisine, which was registered as a world cultural heritage, were completed during the Edo period. It has garnered global renown through its unique expressiveness and techniques. Forms of cultural entertainment such as Ukiyo-e and The Kabuki blossomed during the Edo period and have a significant impact even today.
This video did not only take us all to a journey back in time but it also did give us a glimpse of the values the country upholds and it conveyed rich heritage, culture, and diverse experiences. Thanks, Mochi Mochi My for sharing another seamlessly inspiring video!
