This place was beautiful and amazing to visit and experience. Even though it was a cloudy day, the spring waters were clear and beautiful. This place stays crowded, but you can escape that. Many places to try snacks and foods. The souvenir shops had a lot of good items. You can purchase fruits and many local foods. Their are walkable areas to enjoy some quietness. If you can book a group tour, it's better.

Oshino Hakkai is a beautiful and serene village area known for its crystal-clear spring ponds fed by Mt. Fuji’s snowmelt. The entire place feels calm and refreshing, with traditional thatched-roof houses and charming bridges adding to the scenic appeal. The ponds are incredibly clear, offering amazing reflections and views of the aquatic plants beneath. There are also small shops and snack stalls around, making it a pleasant place to walk, explore, and enjoy local flavors. A peaceful and picturesque stop that perfectly complements any Mt. Fuji or Lake Yamanaka trip.

The village is enchanting and beautiful. It was crowded even at 9 am in the morning. The tranquility of the ponds and their crystal clear waters are amazing. Don't miss a visit to this enchanting village. There is also a small market with tax free that offers a variety of typical and touristic gifts.

Meh... too many tourists. Bus loads! The place is too small to accommodate so many visitors. Overrated. There are many other alternatives in the area. Come only if you Xtra time or if you didnt plan your itinerary carefully and don't know where else to go. Me? I walked around for 10mins and left.

When I visited, the place was packed to the point where it was hard to even move around . Taking a simple photo without someone stepping into the shot was nearly impossible. The tranquility that the location is supposed to offer gets lost when you’re shoulder to shoulder with large tour groups. Strongly recommended to visit early in the morning 🌅 Oshino Hakkai is absolutely beautiful. The ponds are so clear you can practically see into another dimension, and the backdrop of Mount Fuji looks like someone turned the saturation up to 200. It should be a peaceful, serene village… but apparently everyone had the exact same idea the day I went.

Beautiful place but very crowded with tourists. It’s better to visit early morning. Very comfortable to walk with your pet there. There is souvenir shop and food seller, I’ll recommend to try their mugwort rice cake and japanese peach tea.

Very cute village and lots of vendors. However, some Chinese tourists were acting absolutely crazy over the water fountain to taste the spring water. They brought 5L water bottles to fill up the water and did not follow the line as they didn’t want to wait their turn. In that sense, the experience was terrible but nothing against the village. It’s quaint and beautiful.

We had such an amazing lunch at Shinibi No Sato. The food was great and the atmosphere even better! The garden is beautiful with fantastic viewss of Mount Fuji. The staff and ninjas are wonderful and so entertaining. Highly recommend a visit here.

The Ninja Village is nice especially for kids and the staff was brilliant (I saw some families with children and they were having a blast). We were here for lunch as part of an excursion and the food was good, with vegetables available (so, healthy choices possible!). I only think there should be more food for these excursions as there simply wasn’t enough for everyone. Beautiful scenery and views of Mount Fuji!

Fun outing with the kids. When i came here pre Covid, there’s seafood set lunch. Now these’s none, so as muslim we have very very limited choice of food here (not recommended). There’s also an entrance fee of JPY1,800 per adult to enter this place (i deducted a star due to this). The place is clean and beautiful, with a garden overlooking mt fuji. Love that the place is not crowded even during golden week. All the ninjas (staff) were friendly and accomodative when you ask for pictures/ they even volunteer to take your picture.

Such a tourist trap. We stopped here for lunch during a Mount Fuji day trip. The buffet service was poor, with limited options and quantities. By the time I reached the buffet table, even the rice was almost gone. Despite there being two buffet tables, each group was only allowed to use one, which was badly organised. I wouldn’t recommend this place. Also, the toilets didn’t even have soap to wash your hands. The restaurant view was beautiful though.

Absolutely lovely place. Amazing food and atmosphere, even got to see a ninja. Make sure to walk the garden as well

Ate as part of a bus tour. It was buffet style. The food was mediocre and mostly cold (room temp). The "ninja village" aspect was pretty mediocre too. It looked like there was supposed to be some sort of activities or something in the garden area, but all looked disused and we're empty when we visited.

We came here as part of our mt. Fuji trip. Had an amazing lunch experience here. Food was really great. Having lunch with a view of the Mt. Fuji, luckily it was a clear day and the mount was perfectly visible. The garden was so nice, but we could not see the ninjas as expected, not do any activities as there was some work maintenance going on. But still, it was so nice to stroll around the place.

Stumbled upon this place by mistake after visiting Fuji. Made a nice end to the day.

One the place must come if you like the aquarium and underwater creatures. The place offer workshop for kids too. My three kids love the place we spend good 1-2 hours at this place.

Good place to spend time with kids

I love fish and fishing so I loved this place. Lots of cool creatures and only 400 yen

A rare gem! Children will enjoy this tranquil park. The slides are great!

I love to bring my students here. Kids can play with athletics.

beautiful place to visit

A well maintained old shrine near Oshino Hakkai. It was not crowded when we went. Enjoyed the silence while looking around. A great place to visit once in the area.

beautiful view of Mt Fuji. highly recommended to stop by

The best Mt Fuji and Sakura sightings are near this place! Save it for next season or your trip to Japan!!

If you like to collect Goshuin stamps I want to warn you so you don't get scammed like us. The person who does the stamp is barely speaks English, it is impossible to understand what he is talking about, he said something like 3. Then I thought it is 300 yen, which is the general price. Then he started to handwrite the signature with barely black ink, not the ones they usually use, more like a pen. He covered my 3 pages! Not a careful respectful handwriting, barely visible ink and 3 page of this. I was like okay I guess it is the thing here, and he told me 1000 yen? Nowhere is writing outside how much is the stamp and I am fully sure this price is for tourists. Not that I just got scammed 1000 yen for this but also a very careless job. To me this much special work shouldn't be rushed and this careless. I could collect 2-3 different nicer ones in different spots honestly. I should have checked other reviews, afterwards I saw people had the same issue. Just don't go there.

Peace and beautiful temple nearby Oshino Hakkai ancient village.

I came here while I visited to the Oshino Hakkai.

For English speakers. This is a fun small local aquarium. Be aware, nothing is in English, except for the scientific names. Definitely geared towards Japanese children for the locals but still a fun aquarium to go to see more of the fresh water fish. There are plenty of fish and since nothing is in English it took us about an hour to get through. Never seen this big of a catfish or koi fish before coming here. The tank full of the fresh water fish with salmon was awesome to see and fun for the kids. The facility is definitely a bit run down but it almost feels natural with the moss growing the way it is on the facility. All in all, if you are out this way and need something to do with the kids this is a great place to go. The Sakana Koen has a playground and a water area for kids to play in on a hot day.

This place is beautiful from outside in! We loved the landscape outside, the lovely centre of displays of plants and of coz the exciting aquarium.

Small and nice, the kids enjoyed it. Toilet is available. there are some interesting Creatures. Most of the information are in Japanese, so a translation app is a must.

A quiet, peaceful place. A place for you who just want to enjoy the simple nature. The aquarium is just a very nice, neat, and educating place. They also have a study room too. Separated building from the aquarium, a place contains various of floras to study for.

Lovely place and the surroundings are beautiful. The food is delicious and steaming hot and the staff courteous. The fall colours are beautiful in November. The matcha ice cream was good. Good place for a lunch break

We can see many kinds of trout. The yamame trout, which has a colorful spot on its side, is very beautiful. There was a small stream near the aquarium, and my son played in the water.

Another unexpected find outside of the touristy Kawaguchi area. A quaint aquarium (500yen enterance fee) filled with small marine life catered for families with children. There is also a playground and a natural forest education centre behind the aquarium that are free to entry and equally nice to visit.

Skip the place on the way to enjoy Mt Fuji views in Kawaguchiko. It’s packed as hell. Low quality street food that is served undercooked because there is a huge lines everywhere! Super crowded so you can barely enjoy views or take a picture. You would need cash (they don’t accept credit cards) that you can get from ATM in Lawson with 1% sky-high fee.

The staffs were very helpful and nice. I lost contact with my tour bus, and they tried very hard to help call up my tour guide. Thank you so much!

The beautiful post town from the feudal period of the samurai, on the road connecting Kyoto with Tokyo, the residence of the Emperor and the Shogun, to walk on its main street, is transported to medieval Japan, with many inns for men, women, samurai and peasants.

Free lockers here to store luggage. Deposit with 100 yen and it will be returned when you collect your luggage

A small tourist information center

I like it, thank you!

(Translated by Google) The reception staff's attitude was very disappointing. Even when I asked a question, they ignored me, prioritizing their work. I called out again and they finally gave me directions, but I was honestly disappointed by the unfriendly attitude, which was unlike anything you'd expect from a tourist information center. Even though it's a great tourist destination, I think a bad first impression can tarnish the overall image of the place. If they can't provide detailed directions, I feel they would have been better off just leaving brochures unmanned. I'll give it one star. (Original) 受付スタッフの対応がとても残念でした。 質問をしても作業を優先してこちらを無視。 再度声をかけてようやく案内をしてもらえましたが、 観光案内所とは思えない不親切な対応に正直がっかりしました。 せっかくの観光地なのに、最初の印象が悪いとその場所全体のイメージまで下がってしまうと思います。 もし丁寧な案内ができないのであれば、無人でパンフレットを置くだけでも良いのではと感じました。 星1つとさせていただきます。

This place just a Pond whats make it special is the backstory

A small pond with very clear water .

A small pond

No ticket required cause nothing worth seeing. It’s just an ordinary pond

(Translated by Google) It is said that Choshi Pond got its name from its resemblance to a sake cup, a type of sake bottle. Choshi Pond is the only pond in the Eight Lakes where you can see water gushing from the bottom, stirring up sand. There is an ancient legend surrounding this pond. Long ago, a bride let out a loud fart during her wedding ceremony. Ashamed of what had happened, the young and naive bride ran away from the ceremony, picked up the choshi, and threw herself into the pond. Since then, the story goes, the beautiful bride's figure has been seen at the bottom of the pond. Based on this sad story, the pond is now known as a matchmaking pond. A stone monument at Choshi Pond is engraved with the following words: [Choshi Pond], [Fourth Sacred Site], [Washukitsu Ryuo], and a waka poem expressing the bride's sadness. [Waka] "When I draw water from this Choshi pond, the surface of the water ripples, like a river flowing with waves, as if expressing the trembling sadness of my heart." Trivia: The name "Washukichi" engraved on the stone monument means "nine heads" in Sanskrit. This dragon king is said to have nine heads, devour evil dragons, and protect Mount Sumeru. Also known as the "Kuzu-ryuou," he is worshipped in Japan as a "dragon god" residing in the water. (Original) 銚子池の名前の由来は、池の形が酒を注ぐ【お銚子】に似ている事から、この名が付いたと云われています。 銚子池は、八海唯一の池底から水が湧き、砂を巻き上げられている様子を見る事が出来ます。 この池には、古くから言い伝えが残っています。 昔、結婚式の最中に花嫁が音の大きなオナラをしてしまいました。 年若く初心な花嫁は、この事を恥、式の最中に式を抜け出し、銚子を抱き池に身を投げてしまいました。 それ以降、美しい花嫁の姿が池の底に見えたという逸話が有ります。 この悲しい逸話が基になり、今では、縁結びの池と云われています。 銚子池の石碑には、【銚子池】【四番霊場】【和脩吉竜王（わしゅきつりゅうおう）】と花嫁の悲しい心を表した和歌が刻まれています。 【和歌】 『くめばこそ　銚子の池も　さはぐらん　もとより水に　波のある川』 ≪和歌訳≫ この銚子の池の水を汲もうとすると、水面がざわめく、もとより震える悲しむ心を表すかのように、さざ波を立てて流れる川のようだ。 ≪チョット豆知識≫ 石碑に刻まれている『和脩吉』とは、サンスクリット語で『九頭』という意味で、この竜王は、九つの頭を持ち、小悪をなす細竜を食し、須弥山を守護する神様と云われ、別名『九頭竜王』と呼ばれ、日本では、水中に棲む『龍神様』として、信仰されています。

(Translated by Google) ~Minamitsuru District, Yamanashi Prefecture~ Compared to the other ponds, this one had no particular characteristics. Other tourists didn't stop to look around, just took a quick look and left. August 9, 2025 (Original) 〜山梨県南都留郡〜 他の池と比べると特に特徴のない池でした。 他の観光客も佇むことなくサッと見て退散してました。 2025.8.9

(Translated by Google) It looks like an ordinary small round pond. It was named after the shape of a long-handled "choushi" (a type of bamboo pole) that once resembled it. Water springs from the bottom of the pond. (Original) 印象は普通の小さな丸い池。昔は池の形が柄の長い「ちょうし」に似ていたことから名前が付けられてます。池の底から水が湧いてます。

It has great views of Mt. Fuji but the pond and surrounding tourist village is nothing special. There is some good Japanese street food available there though.

A little touristy stop with some good food and some nice views. There are nice views of Fuji, and some good flowers. Recommended.

Great place to take a walk and buy something yo eat AND enjoy the Views

An interesting place , you must put it in ur visiting list

Very cool

Beautiful Heritage Site! With 8 Ponds resembles an 8 Ocean look after by the King of the Dragon! The ponds is crystal clear and was formed by the Lava Strike long ago due to the Mount Fuji Eruption.

Although I met a mysterious pond, it's a difficult to take a nature colors in the photo.

(Translated by Google) This time I came to Yurutetsu Scenic Views 100. Although photography was not allowed in the Okada Koyo permanent exhibition, I was moved by the many photos I saw of Mt. Fuji. Although it's far from as good as Koyo Okada and Seiya Nakai, I was able to see some good work as a photography lover. (Original) 今回ゆる鉄絶景100で来ました。 岡田紅陽常設展示は撮影禁止だったのですが色々な富士山の写真を見て感動すら覚えました。 岡田紅陽、中井精也両名には遥か遠く及びませんが写真好きとして良い作品が見れました。

(Translated by Google) "The photos of Mt. Fuji were so amazing that I thought they had been manipulated." The single building is divided into a photo corner and a postcard corner. The photo corner seems to have a paid area and a free area, but of course I paid 500 yen to see the paid area as well. I had never heard of Kouyo Okada until now, but he must have had quite an influence, as his photo was used as a sample of banknotes. As expected, the equipment he used was from a long time ago, so I don't think his work is as good as it is today, but I was just thinking about how amazing the photos he would take if he were alive today. It's gone. The photos taken by other people are also very nice, and of course there is a huge difference from the photos taken by amateurs with their smartphones. I don't know how to take pictures, but I think it takes a lot of effort to go to the shooting location. As a photographer, you may not be able to take good pictures unless you devote your entire life to it. That's how it felt. To be honest, I only briefly looked at the picture postcards, so that's pretty much it. (Original) 「富士山の写真は、加工してるんじゃないかと勘ぐってしまうほど凄いものばかりでした」 一つの建物の中に、写真コーナーと絵葉書コーナーに分かれています。写真コーナーは有料エリアと無料エリアがあるらしいのですが、当然せっかくなので500円払って有料エリアも見てきました。岡田紅陽さんという人を今まで存じ上げませんでしたが、この人の写真が紙幣のサンプルに使われたりと、かなり影響力があったものと思われます。さすがに使っていた機材も昔のものなので、作品自体は今のそれには及ばないと思いますが、もし仮にこの人が今生きていたら、どれだけすごい写真を撮るのかなとちょっと想像にふけってしまいました。それ以外の人が撮った写真もとても素晴らしく、当たり前ですけど、素人がスマホでパシャパシャ撮ってる写真とは雲泥の違いがあります。撮影方法もわからないですけど、その撮影場所に行く努力も相当なものが必要だと思います。写真家はそれこそ生涯をかけないといいものは撮れないかもしれませんね。そんな感じがしました。 絵葉書の方は正直軽く見た程度なのでまあついで程度ですね

(Translated by Google) The activities of Koyo Okada were introduced. It was clear that he loves Mt. Fuji. (Original) 岡田紅陽の活動が紹介されていました。富士山を愛している事が、良くわかりましたが

(Translated by Google) There was a special exhibition featuring Mitsuaki Iwago. His photographs of Mt. Fuji were powerful and beautiful. (Original) 企画展で「岩合光昭」さんを開催していました。富士山の写真も迫力と美しさがあり良かった。

(Translated by Google) 2023.5 This is an art museum created by Koyo Okada, a photographer of Mt. Fuji, who was also chosen for the design of the banknotes, and Kunio Koike, the founder of picture letters. Admission fee: 500 yen. Photography is not allowed in the paid exhibition rooms. Kunio Koike's paintings of Buddhist statues are on display right after entering the room, and I felt that his generation was strongly influenced by Shiko Munakata. In fact, he seems to have interacted with Shiko Munakata (there was an exhibition of his portrait letters). Fuji photographer Koyo Okada's photographs look like paintings. I especially feel this way about the four items displayed on the right hand side as you enter. I don't know if this is the camera's fault or a problem with the printing method, but it has a rough color. The museum shop is only a decoration, so I wish it would be expanded further.

(Translated by Google) I was able to take a close look at the spring by the lake that was used in the famous amulet, and there were also other wonderful things to see, such as Mt. Fuji and Japanese pampas grass, Mt. Fuji and the moon, and Red Fuji. The history of Kunio Koike's picture letters was interesting. I was also soothed by the trees surrounding the museum. (Original) 有名なお札に使われた湖畔の春がじっくり見れたし、他にも富士山とすすき、富士山と月、赤富士等、素晴らしかった。小池邦夫絵手紙はその成り立ちが興味深かった。美術館周りの木々にも癒やされた。

It's just a small sleepy lake with a few toriis and a "cabin". Sure, you could go on a small hike but I still don't see why you would get out of your way to come here (by the way, no parking and no restrooms)

We arrive at 6pm but almost all stalls are close so we couldn’t few the vibe, but there was still many tourist at that time. Feels like a very small places, not much to see.

Deguchi-ike Pond is the most secluded and least visited of the Oshino Hakkai ponds, mainly because it’s quite far from the main cluster. The area is quiet and calm, surrounded by more natural scenery, and has a peaceful, untouched feel. It’s not as pretty or well-decorated as the others, so if you’re chasing Instagram photos, you can probably skip this one. But if you’re someone who appreciates raw nature and stillness, it’s a nice spot to enjoy away from the crowds. Just take note, the road in is narrow, parking is limited, and there’s a small fee for parking.

The crowd was unbearable, and the shops closes early at around 4. There are english signs saying not to throw coins on the pond but is mostly ignored.

I would definitely recommend swinging by if you are visiting Oshino Hakkai: very quiet place to have a break from overturism :)

A lot of insects and not much to see. Walked quite a while from the main area was quite disappointed

Absolutely beautiful. Love nature and the views. A must visit.

Great place

Amazing experience, highly recommended. IslandTravelSpecialists.com

love it, its really accurate for any destination!

(Translated by Google) I had two children try it out. The kid at the bottom was so scared and felt so good, I want to do it again! ,Well, can I do it?The older child is drunk, that's enough. Parents have a barbecue while waiting. If you look at it from below, it will fly very high. Fortunately, the weather was nice, but the weather forecast called for rain, so we started early. I left Tokyo at 7:30am and was able to arrive at 11am after taking a break. There were so many bugs before I even got off the car that I forgot to use insect repellent! I was in a hurry, but I was able to borrow it! But it's hot this time of year! Especially since it's a barbecue. In the summer, it was a good idea to bring a change of clothes to protect yourself from the heat. The children flying around said it was cool, but the parents grilling the meat were feeling hot. However, drinks can be purchased chilled in the refrigerator, and non-alcoholic drinks cost 200 yen, which is a hefty price. I was surprised to find out that the vending machine tea at Fuji-Q Highland was only 250 yen, so I'm even more thankful for it. Dragonflies are flying in groups. If your child likes insects, it is a good idea to bring a net. The younger children caught frogs, praying mantises, crickets, and collected strawberries while waiting for the older children to take flight. When we finished and arrived at our accommodation, a thunderstorm came. I thought it was a good idea to have it done early. I would like to visit again with my younger child. (Original) 子供2人体験させてもらいました。言い出しっぺ下の子、すっごく怖くて、すっごく気持ちよかった、またやりたい！、まあ、やってもいいかな、の上の子、酔った、もういい。親は待ちながらバーベキュー。下から見てると非常に高く飛ぶんですね。 幸い天気もよく、でも天気予報は雨だからと早めに開始してくれました。東京を朝7時半に出て休憩しつつ11時には到着できました。 車降りる前からすごい虫で、虫除け忘れたー！とあせりましたが、お借りできました！ しかしこの時期暑いです！バーベキューだからなおさら。夏は暑さ対策というか、着替え持っていけば良かったです。飛んでる子供達は、涼しかったー、だそうですが、肉を焼く親は暑いのなんの。 でも飲み物は冷やされた冷蔵庫のが購入可能で、ノンアルも200円と山の上なのにこの値段？という逆の驚きで、その後、富士急ハイランドで自販機お茶が250円だったので、後からさらに、ありがたいな、と思っております。 トンボが集団飛行してます。虫好きお子さんなら網持参がよいです。下の子は、上の子飛行を待ちながら、カエル、カマキリ、コオロギを捕獲、ヘビイチゴ集めもしていました。 終わって宿泊施設についたら、雷雨が来ました。早めにやってもらってよかったな、と思いました。 下の子と再訪したいです。

(Translated by Google) We enjoyed towing gliding in a place with a spectacular view of Mt. Fuji. The moment you take off with Mt. Fuji in the middle of nature is special. However, there are deer's puss scattered all over the field, so be careful if you are interested. Also, the forest road at the entrance is so uneven that it will be a problem if you have a low vehicle. (Original) 富士山を眺める絶景の地でトーインググライダーを堪能しました。 大自然の中、富士山を目の前に眺めながら離陸する瞬間は格別です。 ただしフィールドには全面に鹿さんのンコが散らばっているので、気になる方は要注意。 また入り口の林道は車高が低い車だとエラいことになるくらい凸凹です。

(Translated by Google) Even if the weather is good, depending on the direction of the wind, you may not be able to fly at all, so I think it's good to be informed of this clearly in advance so you can be prepared. I made a reservation for two people, but only one could fly. (Original) 天気が良くても風向きによってはまったく飛べないので、それを事前にはっきり伝えてもらえると覚悟ができて良いと思う。2人予約したけど1人だけ飛べました。

(Translated by Google) You can easily try hang gliding (cable included). It feels good just waiting for the wind on the wide slope. (Original) 気軽にハンググライダー体験(ケーブル付き)ができます。ひろーい斜面で風待ちするだけで気分が良いです。

So happy that they were open! (Early May). For 2000 yen, they give you half an hour to walk down a designated aisle each to eat. It seemed like not much at first but there were so much to eat! These were the sweetest strawberries that I’ve ever tried and this is compared to strawberry picking in Uk which is usually known for their berries! 😋🍓

A ripped off! The lady owner forced us to only pick rotten strawberries. We can not pick any fresh strawberry we want to. She gave us 25 mins; 2,100¥/person, but we can not stand how she treated us badly, we left after 10mins. Cheating farm! Do not come!!!

Totally delicious, as never tasted before. Service not to welcoming and not cheap unless you can eat a lot of strawberries, we had lunch before and didn't eat much and were not allowed to take away.

Strawberry farm Grown with water from Mount Fuji Is another interesting tourist spot of this city Because you can choose to keep fresh strawberries And can eat at all. The farm will have fresh condensed milk to dip Come and enjoy all day. And can easily travel to Oshino Hakkai village

It was closed during golden week. Anyway, it's fascinating view in front of the farm.

Good family and children bonding with our own strawberry picking. We came in late April. Strawberries were plentiful, juicy, soft and sweet.

Good farm that have sweet strawberry. Owner can speak little thai language.
