Experience the sweet spring of Oshino Hakkai, which is known as Jiuzhaigou" at the foot of Mount Fuji (about an hour) Oshino Hakkai is a series of eight clear springs formed by the snow water from Mount Fuji flowing through the earth. Famous for its picturesque natural scenery. The clear water of the pools and the beauty of Mount Fuji are so beautiful that photographers have traveled thousands of kilometers to capture pictures of the pools. Oshino Hakkai is a nationally designated natural monument.
For an outlet shopping or hot spring bathing trip, choose one from the two options. a. Go to Gotemba Outlets (about 2 hours) without visiting the hot springs. You have the option to get off the bus and stay at the outlet, or stay in the vehicle to the next attraction to soak in the hot spring bath. b. Nichigetsu Onsen Hot Spring Experience (approx. 2 hours), does not end at the outlet. To reach the hot spring, you should exit the parking lot and take the elevator. Vehicles are not allowed to drive on the hill. If you choose to take a hot spring bath, we offer a pick-up service to take you to the new hot spring bath "Kinohana no Yu," which opened at the end of 2019. The name of the hot spring is derived from the goddess "Kinohana Saki-Hime", who is a goddess enshrined in Mt. Fuji and the Fuji Asama Taisha Shrine. The hot spring has a breathtaking view of Mount Fuji, and the high-quality hot spring from its own source provides an open-air bath with a view of Mount Fuji.

Highlights were views of Mount Fuji and hotel onsen experience. The hotel onsen had indoor and outdoor pools and was fantastic, but the tour description should make clear that the experience is for a hotel onsen, only because “hot springs” can be confused with natural outdoor hot springs. The meal that comes with the tour can be upgraded - when we arrived at the restaurant, all the pre-ordered meals had already been plated and served at the tables, so the food had cooled a bit.
We got a perfect day with a complete view of Mt Fuji. We know this does not happen always. Onsen was beautiful and very calming. Anna had a lot of information and stories. We did end up having to get back to the hotel on our own instead of being dropped off where we were picked up. This meant we had to pay for and take an extra subway ride.
Good value for money. The guide, Anna, was very informative, humorous and knowledgeable and always willing to answer any questions and go the extra mile to enhance the experience!!! Real good fun !!!

This experience was really fun! My boyfriend and I loved the visit to mount Fuji, the small village, and the hot springs. The guide, Anna was strict about you being on time, so don't be late! But she was also very funny, kind, and helpful. Be aware you do spend a lot of time on a bus as traffic can be bad leaving and getting back into Tokyo. Overall it was definitely worth it and we would recommend it to anyone looking to experience something outside of Tokyo for the day!

Pay attention to all happens: we didn’t go to arakuyama PARK. We just stay for 40 minute in 5th mont Fuji station. Oshino Hakkai for 40 minutes (it needs 30 minutes more) and the guide counted 2 Hours staying in onsen or gotema outlet before arriving from the bus. It is ashamed The most important for him was leaving people to a restaurant in the middle of nothing in the principal road. We States an hour more and less. He was in hurry for all not for the restaurant. It means no having the respect for the people make sacrifice for coming and making tour and travel.
