History of Oshino Hakkai<\/em><\/h2>\n

The word Hakkai means \u201cEight Seas\u201d which refers to the eight pools of water that serve as the main attraction of Oshino Hakkai. Bridges and pathways lead around and over these tranquil ponds.<\/em><\/p>\n

These eight ponds (Deguchi, Okama, Sokonashi, Choushi, Waku, Nigori, Kagami, and Shoubu) are the beautiful byproduct of historic eruptions and intense volcanic activity.<\/em><\/p>\n

Several are fed by an underground reservoir and are renowned for their mineral-rich spring water. In fact, the water in Waku Pond is so clear and clean that in 1985, the Ministry of the Environment ranked it among some of the nation\u2019s best spring water. Go try the water and even bottle some to take home with you when you visit the area. Bottles are available at a low cost if you need one.<\/em><\/p>\n

Most of the pools are filled by melted snow that has run down from Mount Fuji and some of them are inhabited by koi fishes.<\/em><\/p>\n
