Stroll Through Old Japan With Views of Mt. Fuji 🏔️

Experience the timeless charm of Oshino Hakkai, where traditional thatched-roof farmhouses and rustic water wheels sit alongside eight sacred, crystal-clear springs.

You can walk the 193 m spiral slope that mimics the journey from the sea to summit.
