This day was a weekday in March, but a lot of foreign tourists visited.

It is inconvenient for transportation here, so it seems that there are many group customers coming by sightseeing bus.

The snow of Mt.Fuji melts and becomes water, and it flows here. You can take it home.

Beyond this street there is a "Nigori Ike (濁り池)". It is one of the Oshino Hakkai (忍野八海).

The water mill's hut (水車小屋) is a popular Photo spot.

Oshino Mura (忍野村 / Oshino Village) is the Production area of corn.

The most famous in Oshino Hakkai (忍野八海) is this "Naka Ike (中池)".

However, this pond is a private owned pond.

This seems to have created a pond on the land of the inn.

it is a pond of the population.

Because it is located in the center of the village, a lot of people gather here, but this is not "Oshino Hakkai (忍野八海)".

It is a pond made by artificially digging, but there is a depth of 10 meters.

Because it is a very transparent pond, tourists gather here and take a lot of pictures.

This is "Shobu Ike (菖蒲池)". It is one of the Oshino Hakkai (忍野八海).

There is a cafe etc... near the "Shobu Ike (菖蒲池)".

This is "kagami Ike (鏡池 / mirror pond)". It is one of the Oshino Hakkai (忍野八海).
