   Lake Yamanaka, which is called "Swan Lake," is the largest of the Fuji Five Lakes, located near Mount Fuji in Japan. It is the closest lake to Mount Fuji among the Fuji Five Lakes, and the view of the mountain over the lake is spectacular. Enjoy a leisurely stroll along the lakeside, where you can encounter swans gliding and resting at the lake’s edge, a tranquil experience amidst the scenic beauty. On clear days, the stunning phenomenon known as "upside-down Fuji," where Mount Fuji is reflected on the lake's surface, is truly breathtaking.

   Oshino Hakkai is a village known for its eight clear spring water ponds, which are recognized as one of the "Top 100 Famous Waters of Japan." It is classified as a Natural Monument and is part of the Mount Fuji World Heritage Site. The eight ponds are fed by snow melt from the slopes of nearby Mount Fuji. As the water filters down through porous layers of lava for over 80 years, it results in exceptionally clear spring water that the locals deeply value. Visitors can taste this magical spring water for free, feel its sweetness and purity, and experience the legend of longevity.
