Omiya Bridge

お宮橋

attraction · Viewpoint (cherry blossoms)

Omiya Bridge is the picture you've probably already seen of Oshino: a simple bridge over the clear Shin-nasho River, cherry blossoms lining both banks, and Mt. Fuji rising straight ahead. For a week or two around mid-April it's one of the most photogenic spots in the whole Fuji area — blossoms, daffodils and the mountain all in one frame, doubled in the still water on a calm morning. It's free and open any time, a short walk from the Oshino Hakkai ponds, but its fame is also its catch: by mid-morning in season it's shoulder-to-shoulder, with security guards managing the crowds. Come at sunrise
