Oshino Hakkai: The Village of Clear Waters and 8 Sacred Ponds

Traveling to Japan during Chinese New Year 🧧🧨
Date: February 1, 2025

During this period, the area is bustling with people, mostly Chinese tourists (it almost feels like being in China, haha).
- The weather is cold, with daytime temperatures around 5°C and nighttime dropping to -5°C. Some areas even have light snowfall.
- For clothing, I wore one layer of Uniqlo Heattech and another layer of a Chubby winter coat.
- Popular photo spots are crowded, making it hard to find a spot without people.
- Souvenir shops are extremely busy with lots of visitors.
- The buses running around the area are packed, especially at highlight spots, leaving barely any room to squeeze in.

Overall, it's a landmark worth visiting ❤️❤️
