The so-called Eight Seas are actually a group of springs between Lake Kawaguchi and Lake Yamanaka. Since there are eight springs distributed in an orderly manner in the Oshino area, it is called the Oshino Eight Seas.
In ancient times, Oshino Hakkai was actually integrated with Lake Yamanaka and was called Lake Utsu.
During the Enryaku period, Mount Fuji erupted, causing Lake Utsu to split into two, Lake Yamanaka and Lake Oshino.
Later, Lake Oshino dried up and turned into a basin, leaving behind eight small ponds, hence the name Oshino Hakkai.
Water wheels, ponds, houses, shops, everywhere is filled with the atmosphere of a Japanese countryside.
Most of the eight seas are free, only one of them charges a fee, which is not expensive, 300 yen per person, and half price for children.
This pond can be used to feed fish, and of course, this is also paid for by the medicine. For children, it is naturally a special liking. Seeing Yushan and others bringing so many children here, the aunt who collects the fees can hardly close her mouth with a smile.
Seeing Shirasaki Hana and the others happily feeding the fish, Yushan Kazuto also felt a lot happier.
To be honest, he was a little disappointed when he first arrived at Oshino Hakkai.
Although the scenery is not bad, it is not as good as advertised.
In China, Oshino Hakkai is also known as the Little Jiuzhaigou of Japan.
But to be honest, this little Jiuzhaigou is a little far from the real Jiuzhaigou.
The most important thing is that there are quite a lot of tourists.
The time now is 10:30 in the morning, so there shouldn't be many tourists.
However, it seems that because many travel routes include Oshino Hakkai as an addition to Mount Fuji trips, this place has become a must-see for many tourists.
Originally, Shima Rin didn't want to consider Oshino Hakkai as a tourist attraction, but after some thought, she finally chose this place.
Firstly, children can have more fun here, and secondly, it will be difficult to get lunch if we don’t stop at Oshino Hakkai.
After passing the Oshino Hakkai, we returned to Lake Kawaguchi. Yuyama and others had already spent the whole day in Lake Kawaguchi yesterday, so they naturally did not stay there for too long.
Continue walking forward and you will reach West Lake.
This West Lake is not the other West Lake, and its scenery and heritage are not as good as Lin'an West Lake.
There hasn't been much development around West Lake. If you ignore Oshino Hakkai and go directly to West Lake, it will be difficult to find a place to eat at noon.
The travel plan formulated by Shima Rin is to make a brief stop at Oshino Hakkai, have lunch by Lake Kawaguchi, and then continue towards Lake Saiko.
However, Shima Rin had to admit that there was not much fun in Oshino Hakkai, and he came here just for the sake of novelty and to drink a sip of the "holy water" of the snow mountain.
Everyone was walking around in Oshino Village. Yushan Kazuto stretched and looked around, and saw Yukinoshita Yukino in front of him.
Yukinoshita Yukino stood by a pond, admiring the colorful fish swimming there. A breeze blew past, and she couldn't help but tidy up her hair a little.
"Yukinoshita." Yuyama Kazuto moved closer to Yukinoshita Yukino.
Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at Yuyama Kazuto, then immediately turned her attention back to the fish in the pond.
"If you wanted to go on a spring outing, why didn't you tell me that day?" Yushan Kazuto asked in a low voice while looking at the fish.
Yukinoshita Yukino blinked slightly. She wanted to argue that it was a coincidence, but she really couldn't open her mouth.
"Are you feeling embarrassed because I didn't invite you?" Yushan Heren said.
There are quite a few coins at the bottom of the pool. Although Oshino Hakkai is not a wishing pool, and there is even a warning sign next to it that throwing coins will result in a fine, there are still many people who do not follow the rules.
Yukinoshita Yukino was silent, and her expression changed slightly. It was obvious that she had agreed with what Yuyama Kazuto said.
"I wanted to invite you to come with me, but you know, I'm a little afraid of trouble."
Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't help but look at Yushan Kazuto. Was he saying that she was a trouble?
"No, no, no, don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about your mother." Yushan Heren shrugged and said.
Yukinoshita Yukino lowered her head. She naturally knew that Mrs. Yukinoshita had always had complaints about Yuyama Kazuto.
At that time, the relationship between Mrs. Yukinoshita and Yayoi Hayama was no secret.
Although it is a bit embarrassing to say it out loud, everyone knows these things.
Mrs. Yukinoshita once pursued Hayama Yayoi, but was rejected by the other party. After Hayama Yayoi found her lover, the Yukinoshita family quickly took in a son-in-law, and the object was Yukinoshita Yukino's father.
Although the relationship between the two families was still maintained, there was a bit of rift between Mrs. Yukinoshita and the Hayama family.
Although Yukinoshita Yukino's father once wanted to repair the rift between the two families, he was ultimately unable to overcome the psychological barrier.
Since childhood, Mrs. Yukinoshita taught Yukinoshita Haruno and Yukinoshita Yukino not to get too close to people from the Hayama family.
Yukinoshita Haruno turned a deaf ear to this and continued doing as she pleased.
Yukinoshita Yukino actually listened to some of what was said. Since she was very young, she had been slightly repulsed by Yushan Kazuto.
Although she was very happy every time she was with Yushan Kazuto, her mother did not allow her to get too close to Yushan Kazuto, so she often avoided Yushan Kazuto.
Later, Yushan and Ren transferred to another school, and the two had even less interactions.
If it weren't for Xiaoxue, the two of them would probably still be just acquaintances.
What puzzled Yukinoshita Yukino was that Yukinoshita Haruno did what she wanted and deliberately got close to Hayama Kazuto, but she was not reprimanded by Mrs. Yukinoshita.
Whenever he had a little more contact with Yushan and others, Mrs. Yukinoshita would teach him a lesson.
Therefore, Yukinoshita Yukino has always been very conflicted about the relationship between the two.
But recently, she increasingly found that she might not be able to suppress her feelings.
Yushan Kazuto didn't invite me, probably because he was worried that he would be blamed by his mother.
The reason was very sufficient, and it was all for her own good. Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't find anything wrong with what Yuyama Kazuto did.
Because she couldn't refute, Yukinoshita Yukino chose to remain silent.
"Sometimes, you have to be brave." Yushan Kazuto smiled.
"Just like this." Yushan Heren stretched out his hand, caught a coin that someone threw into the pond, walked forward a few steps, and casually put it into the donation box not far away.
Chapter 1160 Souvenirs for Everyone
After leaving Yukinoshita Yukino, Hayama Kazuto began searching for Eriri in the crowd again.
Today is Eriri's birthday, so we have to show her some care.
Looking up, Yushan and Renren discovered that Eriri, Tomomori Sanae, Doma Yui and Sora Ginko were all together.
Several people were standing in a small shop, apparently choosing souvenirs, and Yushan Heren walked up quickly.
"Eri, what did you pick?"
A voice suddenly sounded from behind. Eriri, who was concentrating on choosing souvenirs, was startled. She covered her chest, turned around, and looked at Yushan Kazuto with some resentment.
"Just a paintbrush and a few sketchbooks."
"How was the supervision Sanae gave you yesterday?" Hayama Kazuto smiled.
At this point, Eriri was filled with anger. The effect of Sanae Touma's supervision was indeed very good. Eriri's creative efficiency had been greatly improved, but she was also extremely tired.
After finishing that painting, Eriri felt that her entire energy and spirit were exhausted. If this happened a few more times, Eriri might completely give up the painting industry.
"I say, Eriri, why don't you just hire Sanae as your full-time supervisor. Maybe she can really become an outstanding painter in the future." Hayama Kazuto said with a smile.
"I don't want to." Before Eriri could say anything, Toumori Sanae walked out from the side.
"Sanae, what did you buy?" Looking at the bulging little bag in Toumori Sanae's hand, Yushan Kazuto glanced sideways.
"Just a bag of Japanese confectionery." Toumori Sanae turned her head to the side, her cute twin ponytails were so adorable.
The Japanese confectionery here is processed with snow mountain water, so the price is slightly higher.
Yushan Kazuto blinked slightly: "I hope it won't get stuck in my hair again."
Toumori Sanae couldn't help but glance at Yushan Kazuto, then quickly walked away to pay the bill.
Yushan Kazuto had no choice but to focus his attention on Doma Mei and Sora Ginko.
Sora Ginko was holding a folding fan in her hand. One side had Mount Fuji on Lake Kawaguchi painted in the style of Ukiyo-e, while the other side was empty, decorated with only some patterns, which looked like it was used for inscriptions.
"Don't you want to buy that chessboard?" Yushan Heren pointed to the beautifully decorated folding chessboard aside.
Kong Yinzi shook his head: "Only little brats like that kind of thing."
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink. The little brat that Kong Ginko mentioned was undoubtedly Hinazuru Ai.
After the two became sisters, their relationship seemed to improve on the surface, but they still had some conflicts in private.
However, Sora Ginko is very clear about the distinction between public and private. Even though her relationship with Hinazuru Ai is average, she still spares no effort in teaching Hinazuru Ai. Deep down, Hinazuru Ai has a little more respect for Sora Ginko.
Holding the fan, Kong Yinzi originally wanted to go to pay the bill, but suddenly turned back, picked up another fan, and then walked towards the checkout again.
Eriri's things had already been paid for, and after picking and choosing in the store, only Doma was left.
"Umaru-chan, what are you picking?" When Yushan Kazuto walked to Umaru-chan, he could smell a fragrance.
"It's none of your business." Tsuchima said in a low voice.
"If you keep having such a bad temper, I won't take you out to play in the future." Yushan Heren shrugged and said lightly.
Tsuchiya puffed up her cheeks slightly. It seemed that she was jealous a little more frequently in the past two days.
But who would have thought that Yushan Kazuto actually knew so many girls, and that within less than a day of coming here, he could meet a girl as cute as Shima Rin. And before at Yamanakako, the rank suppression of Yukinoshita Haruno was still vivid in his mind.
"Hmph." Tsuchima Mai snorted and continued to pick.
"Hey, this snow mountain amulet you picked seems to be for blessing others' mothers and children. Is it for your sister-in-law?"
Domama looked back at Yushan Kazuto, then put the snow mountain amulet down again, her mouth pouting.
"Okay, okay, just buy it if you want. Everyone knows that Umaru-chan is a kind-hearted and cute girl." Yushan Kazuto smiled.
Doma Mai turned around and glanced at Yushan Kazuto. Although she knew that Yushan Kazuto's compliment might not be very sincere, she still felt it was useful.
After looking at the snow mountain amulet, Tsuchiya picked it up anyway.
Legend has it that children who are protected by snow-capped mountains will enjoy health and luck throughout their lives.
Although Tsuchiya Mai does not believe in these superstitious things, it does not prevent her from treating it as a simple and beautiful blessing.
After walking out of the store, Yushan Kazuto looked around casually, but did not find Shima Rin in Oshino Hakkai.
"By the way, where is Shima?" Yushan Kazuto asked.
Hearing Shima Rin's name, Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but snort again.
Tujianma and the others were silent, but Kong Yinzi spoke slowly: "She said she wanted to go shopping by herself and would be back at eleven o'clock."
Yushan Kazuto blinked. He didn't expect that while the others still maintained a semi-stranger relationship with Shima Rin, Sora Ginko was able to strike up a conversation with the other party.
In fact, Shima Rin and Sora Ginko have somewhat similar personalities. They both have a strong obsession with certain things, but Sora Ginko is obviously much stronger.
The two of them were able to chat so much, perhaps because they had slightly similar personalities.
Yushan Kazuto walked aside and secretly sent a message to Shima Rin, and soon, Shima Rin replied.
A photo and a location address.
Shima Rin's location was not too far from Oshino Village. Seeing Eriri and the others attracted by another store and Asuna Yuuki not far away also joined their team, Yuyama Kazuto secretly left Oshino Village.
……
"Shima." Seeing Shima Rin from afar, Yushan Kazuto stretched out his hand to greet him.
Shima Rin nodded and continued to enjoy the scenery.
Yushan Kazuto slowly approached, following the direction that Shima Rin was looking at, and the scenery of Oshino Village was in full view.
In an instant, Yushan Heren suddenly felt as if he was looking at a paradise from afar.
Although there are no peach blossoms, the lifestyle in Oshino Village is indeed somewhat similar to the description in Peach Blossom Spring.
Of course, if there were fewer tourists, it might be more appropriate.
"How did you find this place?" Yushan Heren asked.
"Just strolling around." Shima Rin said.
Beautiful scenery often only lasts for a moment, and one angle can make a world of difference.
"That's really good." Yushan Heren couldn't help but say.
Originally, Yushan and others felt that the scenic area of Oshino Hakkai was a little too noisy and were a little disappointed.
But standing here, Yushan Heren felt a lot more peaceful.
