Even if it means waiting in a long line, it's worth trying the famous water of Oshino Hakkai in Japan - it's free!

Oshino Hakkai is actually a collection of eight small ponds at the foot of Mount Fuji. It is said that the water comes from the melting snow on the summit of Mount Fuji, which is filtered through volcanic rock layers and accumulates in the mountains, resulting in a clear and sweet taste. Although the ponds are 5 to 6 meters deep, they appear to be within reach due to the clarity of the water. The Japanese like to use 'Fuji water essence' to soak and consume food, which is inspired by the water quality concept of these eight seas. 📍Location: Oshino Village, Minamitsuru District, Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan 🚗Transportation: If you're not driving, you can take the Fujikyu Line to Fujisan Station, then transfer to a shuttle bus to Oshino Hakkai Station and walk for a few minutes to get there. 👍️Must-visit spot: Oshino Village is also a spot for viewing Mount Fuji from a distance, although the mountain is often 'secluded' due to the weather. Oshino Hakkai is also known as the 'Jiuzhaigou of Japan'. Therefore, strolling between the eight ponds and experiencing the beauty of 'fish swimming in the sky' is endlessly enjoyable. 🎟️Ticket information: Free. 💗Other tips: The water is really sweet and free, so consider bringing a bottle to take some back to your hotel to drink throughout the day. Additionally, tofu made with spring water and served with Japanese sauce is also worth a try.
