3. Oshino Hakkai
A village of famous water with a beautiful view of Mt. Fuji and unspoiled Japanese scenery. A collective name for eight spring-fed ponds whose source is the underground water of Mt. Fuji. It is a natural monument and one of the assets that make up the World Heritage site "Mt. Fuji." It is called "Hakkai" even though it is a pond, because it is so sacred that it became "sea" rather than "pond." The water is so clear that you can see the lava underground, and the mysterious color is so beautiful that you will be drawn in.

4. Mt. Fuji 5th Station
It's not just about climbing! You can enjoy the spectacular views by taking a leisurely stroll!
It is the end of the Fuji Subaru Line, and can be reached by car in about an hour from the national highway. The parking lot at Mt. Fuji's 5th Station is a tourist spot, and many shops and restaurants are open from mid-April to mid-December. For example, many families eat the "Original Kokemomo Soft Serve" sold at the "Komitake Shop," buy souvenirs, and eat at restaurants while looking at the view. Even if you don't do a full-scale climb of Mt. Fuji, there is a promenade called "Ochu-michi" at the 5th Station that has few ups and downs, so you can easily explore Mt. Fuji. After walking for about an hour, you will reach a spectacular spot called "Oniwa." There is also a shrine behind the red torii gate next to the shop at the 5th Station rotary, and from the observation deck there you can see Lake Yamanaka below, so it might be worth visiting once. One thing to be careful of is the weather. You may need to wear something warm even in summer.
