Mt Fuji over Oshino Hakkai Springs
OnlineThis camera frames the symmetrical cone of Mount Fuji rising beyond the spring-fed ponds of Oshino Hakkai, a preserved village of thatched-roof farmhouses at the volcano's northern foot. The crystal-clear pools, fed by snowmelt filtered through Fuji's lava beds, mirror the peak and the surrounding cedar woods.

Everything you need to know about this live stream
Mount Fuji and the Sacred Springs
The view is dominated by Mount Fuji, the iconic dormant stratovolcano and highest peak in Japan. In the foreground lie the eight ponds of Oshino Hakkai, designated a Natural Monument and part of the Fuji UNESCO World Heritage listing.
A Preserved Village
The cluster of traditional thatched-roof houses recreates an Edo-period farming hamlet, with wooden footbridges arching over the transparent spring water and koi drifting below.
Filtered Snowmelt
The pools are fed by snowmelt from Mount Fuji that percolates for decades through porous lava strata, emerging remarkably pure and cold.
A Living Landscape
Visitors stroll the stone-paved paths between the ponds and the cedar-clad hills, with the perfectly proportioned summit framed above the rooftops.
