AI overview

The Oshino Hakkai Main Souvenir Store is the central souvenir-and-snack shop at the ponds, right by the vivid blue Middle Pond and an easy stop as you walk the village. It's two things at once: a street-food counter for warm kusa-mochi (herbal grass mochi with red bean), freshly grilled fish cakes and Muscat-grape soft serve, and a souvenir shop stacked with Yamanashi sweets and small gifts. There's also a spring-water fill station, where you can buy a bottle (about ¥150) and top it with Oshino's famous snowmelt water straight from the source. It opens early — around 7 AM — so it's a good first stop before the tour buses arrive. Bring cash, as card acceptance is limited.
