AI overview

The Oshino Village Tourist Information Center is the village's main information point, a few minutes' walk from the Oshino Hakkai ponds and the natural first stop for getting your bearings. Staff hand out area maps, point you to the ponds, food stalls and bus stops, and sell the Oshino Hakkai nine-pond stamp set (¥200) — a nice, cheap keepsake of the walk. English is limited but they're well used to international visitors, and they'll help if you get separated from a tour group. It's free to use and open roughly 9:00–17:00. The one thing to sort before you arrive: Oshino is largely cash-only, so draw yen at a convenience-store ATM before you need it.
