Oshino Hakkai – The 8 Springs of Oshino

Oshino Hakkai is the collective name for Mt. Fuji’s 8 natural ponds, Deguchi-ike, Okama-ike, Sokonashi-ike, Choshi-ike, Waku-ike, Nigori-ike, Kagami-ike and Shobu-ike. Once a former lake, the area has dried up and formed the 8 spring-sourced ponds that remain today.

I originally thought it would just be a few ponds, but it had way more charm in person than I expected. The thatched roofs, flowing water, and Mt. Fuji all go so well together. It’s not just a spot for photos of Mt. Fuji, but also a place with a wonderful Japanese countryside atmosphere. Walking through the little village felt really relaxing.

Kawa no Soba

After drinking around Nakasu, Fukuoka, Kawa no Soba is a place you will want to stop by. Located along the Nakagawa River, this restaurant works both as a place for chuka soba, a light ramen-style noodle dish, and as an izakaya-style spot, making it a popular choice for ending the night. It has counter seats that are easy to use even when visiting alone, as well as relaxed table seating, making it convenient as a second or third stop.

Ramen

The white soy sauce ramen broth looks light, but it has a lot of depth and doesn’t taste overly salty. Once the noodles soak up the broth, they go down really smoothly.

It was my first time trying Hakata’s specialty gurukawa, and the chicken skin was grilled crispy on the outside and pleasantly chewy inside. The more you chew, the more flavorful it gets, and it pairs really well with the ramen. If you’re around Tenjin, I definitely recommend giving this place a try. The white soy sauce ramen with their signature chicken skin skewers is a combo that makes me want to come back again.

Kinoko no Yama

Kinoko no Yama, a long-selling product that represents Meiji Co., Ltd. (hereafter, Meiji), has been a beloved national chocolate snack across generations since its launch in 1975. Its most distinctive feature is its cute mushroom-shaped form. The cracker is light and fragrant, while the chocolate portion has a two-layer structure that gives it a smooth melt-in-the-mouth texture. The slight saltiness of the cracker brings out the sweetness, while the clean finish makes it easy to enjoy.

Each piece is just the right size for one bite, and it doesn’t leave too many crumbs. It’s super convenient as an afternoon snack.

The location is really convenient. It’s not too far to walk from Shinjuku Station, and the area nearby is lively with plenty of places to eat and shop.

For Tokyo, the room was fairly spacious, which made the stay much more comfortable.
