Oshino Hakkai - Oshino Hakkai

Japanese: 忍野八海 - おしのはっかい
Oshino Hakkai - Oshino Hakkai

A spring located in Shibokusa, Oshino Village, Minamitsuru County, Yamanashi Prefecture. It is a nationally designated natural monument. It consists of eight ponds: Wakuike, Deguchiike, Sokonukeike, Choshiike, Okamaike, Nigoriike, Kagamiike, and Shobuike. The amount of spring water and seasonal fluctuations in water temperature are fairly constant, and it is thought that the source of the water is the groundwater of Mount Fuji. Along with Lake Yamanaka, it is an important source of water for the Katsura River, as well as for the water supply, irrigation, and fish farms in Oshino Village and other areas. It was a sacred place where Fuji-ko followers made a pilgrimage to the eight seas. The view of snow-capped Fuji from here is excellent, making it a tourist destination no matter the season. In 2013, Oshino Hakkai was registered with the World Heritage List as "Mount Fuji - a place of worship and a source of artistic inspiration" along with the Mt. Fuji region, surrounding shrines, and the Fuji Five Lakes. Take a 20-minute bus from Mt. Fuji Station to Uchino via Omiyabashi, then get off at the Oshino Hakkai entrance and walk for 5 minutes.

山梨県南都留(みなみつる)郡忍野村忍草(しぼくさ)にある湧泉(ゆうせん)。国指定天然記念物。湧(わく)池、出口(でぐち)池、底抜(そこぬけ)池、銚子(ちょうし)池、お釜(かま)池、濁(にごり)池、鏡池、菖蒲(しょうぶ)池の八つの池からなる。湧出量、季節による水温の変動もほぼ一定であり、富士山の地下水が水源と考えられている。山中湖とともに桂川(かつらがわ)の水源として、忍野村などの上水道、灌漑(かんがい)、養魚場の水源としても重要。富士講の人々が八海巡りをした霊場であった。ここからの雪の富士の展望も優れ、季節を問わず観光地となっている。2013年(平成25)に忍野八海は富士山域と周辺の神社、富士五湖等の構成資産とともに「富士山―信仰の対象と芸術の源泉」として世界文化遺産リストに登録された。富士山駅からお宮橋経由内野行きバス20分、忍野八海入口下車後徒歩5分。
