Detailed itinerary
1
Nestled in the Fuji Five Lake region between Lake Yamanaka and Lake Kawaguchi, Oshino Hakkai is a popular tourist destination known for its eight scenic ponds. These ponds are fed by the pure snowmelt from Mount Fuji's slopes, which gradually filters through porous lava layers over 80 years. The result is exceptionally clear spring water, cherished by the locals for its pristine quality.
Some Japanese traditional foods and sweets are available. ( Soba noodles, grilled fish skewers, mochi dumplings, etc.)

Arakura Fuji Sengen-jinja Shrine, located in the picturesque Arakurayama Sengen Park, boasts a striking five-story pagoda that offers breathtaking views of Mount Fuji. This renowned scenic spot is popular during cherry blossom in any season, allowing visitors to capture a single shot featuring two iconic Japanese elements: Mount Fuji and a vibrant red pagoda. The shrine, known as Sangoku Daiichisan Arakura Fuji Sengen Shrine, is dedicated to Mount Arakura, creating a sacred atmosphere in the area.
