Nestled at the foothills of Mount Fuji, Oshino Hakkai is a place where tranquility intertwines with natural beauty. This idyllic village is renowned for its pristine spring water ponds, which are the result of the mountain's melting snow filtering through the Earth for over 80 years. As you wander through the village, you'll encounter eight crystal-clear ponds, each with its unique charm and character. The surrounding area is adorned with traditional thatched-roof houses, further immersing you in a bygone era. These houses have been repurposed into shops and eateries, offering local crafts, snacks, and the chance to experience the village's rich heritage.

It is said that this place came to be thanks to a phreatic eruption and pyroclastic flow that occurred almost 3000 years ago. The peculiar sulfur smell that spreads throughout the area was the reason behind its second name from the past, Jigokudani (Hell Valley). One of the local specialties is the “black eggs”, whose main trait is in the shells that turn black due to a chemical reaction with geothermal energy and volcanic gas. Head to this unique site using the ropeway, and enjoy a nice view of Hakone and Mt. Fuji along the way.
