Kawaguchiko (Lake Kawaguchi) is one of the best locations to view Mt Fuji. Kawaguchiko is part of Fuji Five Lakes system. Guide to accessing Kawaguchiko. Oshino Hakkai is made up of eight spring water ponds. The water is melted snow water that comes from Mt Fuji. It takes more than 80 years to filter through the underground layers of Mt Fuji. On a clear day, the water surface reflects Mt Fuji and appears to be veiled in an almost mystic air. Not only do these ponds provide fine-quality water, but they harmonize wonderfully with the surrounding rustic scenery, and the water of Oshino Hakkai is ranked among the best-quality waters of Japan. Oshino Hakkai is located on the North Eastern Side of Mt Fuji (see Mt Fuji Map).
