## Mount Fuji: The totem of the Japanese soul, the priceless shock that must be seen in this life! **Definitely worth it! **It is far more than a mountain, but also a living totem that carries Japan's millennium faith and aesthetics**. Whether looking out over its sacred outline or challenging the summit, it is a great way to feel the Japanese spirit deeply. **Core highlights hit the soul:*** **The fast-changing scene:** The four seasons rotate to give it a very different face - spring cherry for skirt, summer green, autumn red leaves, winter snow crown. Under the clear sky, the momentum is magnificent, and the clouds are looming. **Each eye is a unique scenery postcard**. * ** Classic perspective punch card: ** * ** Kawaguchiko reflection: ** The lake is like a mirror, reflecting the perfect "reverse Fuji", especially when there is no wind in the morning, it is a photography paradise. * **Shincangshan Asakusa Park: **The five-tower is framed with Mount Fuji, interpreting the most classic Japanese aesthetic. * **Goden Field Outlet: **Shopping while enjoying the huge mountain nearby, a wonderful experience. * **Top Challenge (7-9 Moon): **Conquering 3,776 meters on foot, meeting the "Yulai Light" (Sunrise) in the crater, and feeling the ultimate experience of conquest and sacred fusion (need to be fully prepared). * **Cultural Immersion: ** Hawthorn Shrine, Ninno Bahai Lingquan, and Fuji Theme Art Museum ... Infiltrate their awe and worship everywhere. **Tips: *** **Weather determines everything! ** Be sure to check the visibility forecast before traveling, and it may be completely "invisible" on rainy days. * Recommended for a distant view**Kawaguchiko/Mountain Lake area**, convenient transportation and diverse perspectives. * Climbing requires professional equipment, make an appointment in advance for mountain houses, and do your best. **Summary: ** The beauty of Mount Fuji transcends the vision, which is the resonance of nature and culture. Its sacred sense and magnificent beauty, no matter how close you look, it will become a scenery engraved into memory. If the heavens are beautiful, be sure to include it in the itinerary - not only to see a mountain, but also to touch the window of the Japanese soul. 🗻✨
Mt Fuji is always magnifient. When taking the train from Osaka to Japan, you might have a huge chance to see it - in both local train and bullet train. Aside from Tokyo Side, the Shizuoka side is also good. Always a marvel to see. I would advice the Shizuoka side for less people.

World Heritage: Eight Clear Springs
Mount Fuji reflected in spring

Oshino Hakkai is a group of springs in Oshino Village, between Lake Yamanaka and Lake Kawaguchi in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan. The eight springs, scattered throughout the area, have earned them a reputation as a "mini-Jiuzhaigou" (small Jiuzhaigou)—a bit of an exaggeration, haha. It's actually just a few pools. It's said to have existed for 1,200 years. The water here is melted snow from Mount Fuji, with an average temperature of around 13°C. It's clear and sweet, and was selected as one of Japan's "100 Famous Waters" in 1985.
In 2013, it was inscribed on the UNESCO list as part of the Mount Fuji World Heritage Site.
Many people visit the area specifically to fill their water bottles with water; the water is free, but bottles are charged.
You can also try local delicacies like local Kusabi (mochi), Hakkai tofu, and matcha ice cream.
【Scenery】
It is said that the Oshino Hakkai existed 1,200 years ago. It is composed of eight clear fresh springs formed by the melting snow of Mount Fuji and filtering through the strata: Kamaike, Dimuike, Choshiike, Turbidike, Yongike, Mirrorike, Acorus and Departure. The average water temperature is 13℃, and it is known as the Jiuzhaigou of Japan.
【Transportation】
It is also very convenient to go to the Oshino Hakkai from Kawaguchiko. There are several buses every day, and you can take them without making an appointment in advance. The one-way fare is only 560 yen.
