🌸 Oshino Hakkai | A scenic spot at the foot of Mount Fuji

#SeasonalPlacesInJapan If you're traveling to Japan in March or April, this is a must-visit! Oshino Hakkai is also known as "Jiuzhaigou at the foot of Mt. Fuji." A veritable "paradise" with Mt. Fuji reflected in the crystal-clear pond, cherry blossoms in full bloom, and traditional Japanese scenery. ✨ 📍 What are Oshino Hakkai? Oshino Hakkai is eight ponds created by spring water from Mt. Fuji in Yamanashi Prefecture. The water is so clear that it's so beautiful you could drink it straight from the pond! The pond is surrounded by thatched-roof buildings and lush greenery, making it feel like you've entered the world of a Ghibli movie✨ 🌸 Recommended points for March and April 📷 ① Spectacular views of cherry blossoms and Mt. Fuji The best time to see cherry blossoms is from late March to mid-April🌸 The cherry blossoms at Oshino Hakkai are a little late blooming, but the combination of Mt. Fuji reflected in Kagami-ike Pond + cherry blossoms + the clear blue pond is truly spectacular! 🏡 ② Idyllic rural scenery Oshino Village is dotted with streams and old-fashioned watermills and thatched-roof houses. A spot where time seems to flow slowly and soothes the soul✨ 💧 ③ Ponds with excellent transparency The eight ponds, fed by meltwater from Mt. Fuji, are endlessly transparent and mysterious. The swimming Nishikigoi and stones in the water are clearly visible, so it's sure to look great in photos 📸 🚗 How to get there 📍 How to get there from Tokyo 🔹 Bus (recommended!) ✅ From Shinjuku/Tokyo Station → Lake Kawaguchi (about 2 hours) → Oshino Hakkai (bus or taxi 20 minutes) 🔹 Car (rental car) ✅ About 2.5 hours from Tokyo 🚗 Via the Chuo Expressway, the scenery along the way is also amazing! 🔹 Train (a little inconvenient) ✅ JR Shinjuku Station → Otsuki Station (express about 1 hour) → Mt. Fuji Station (about 50 minutes) → bus or taxi 💡 Recommended: Bus or private car (rental car) There are no stations around Oshino Hakkai, so joining a tour or renting a car is convenient! 📌 How to enjoy Oshino Hakkai ✔ Photo spots: Kagamiike Pond, Nakaike Pond, and souvenir shop area ✔ Local cuisine: Soba noodles made with spring water from Oshino Hakkai and Mt. Fuji's famous water coffee ✔ Nearby sightseeing: We recommend touring Lake Kawaguchi and Lake Yamanaka together! 📢 Oshino Hakkai in spring is a miraculous landscape of Mt. Fuji and cherry blossoms! Be sure to visit this spectacular spot where time flows slowly🌸
