Oshino Hakkai

忍野八海

Yamanashi · Chubu

Oshino Hakkai consists of eight stunning springs fed by snowmelt from Mount Fuji, known for their crystal-clear waters. The area is not only beautiful but also culturally significant, with traditional thatched-roof houses and serene landscapes that reflect the essence of rural Japan.

Why we picked it

Despite its beauty, many travelers focus solely on Mount Fuji and miss this tranquil spot.
