Near the base of Mt. Fuji is a village called Oshino mura (Minamitsuru district, Yamanashi Prefecture) where you can find the most beautiful natural ponds formed hundreds of years ago by spring water from Mt. Fuji.
The place where the ponds are located is called Oshinohakkai, which literally translates to "eight springs of Oshino".
The waters of the spring are unbelievably clear. You can see all the way to the bottom. A varied collection of underwater plants and colorful fishes (the large kois are amazing) inhabit the ponds.
You can take a sip of the fresh spring water if you fancy it.
It amazing how the place is preserved. Knowing the Japanese, the springs will still be in their pristine state decades from now.

magnificent view of mt.fuji as backdrop of hakkai. ...Enough details to see the walkway up the mountain.
yan naman ang gusto ko sa mga japanese, they preserve their heritage well. i really won't be surprised if these sites would still be in good conditions a generation or maybe a century from now.
as usual, great takes bai. inggit ako sa travels mo :-)
Thanks bai! Mas marami pa ring magagandang tanawin dito sa Pinas :). Yung nga lang, kailangan mo puntahan kaagad bago masira o mawala :(
