TOKYO

Ome is a charming city where nostalgia meets modernity against a backdrop of striking natural beauty. Just over an hour from central Tokyo, the city is steeped in Showa era (1926–1989) ambience, with retro streetscapes, corner stores, small historic museums, and vintage film posters adorning its lanes. The city is also home to historic residences, shrines, and temples, as well as cultural landmarks like the Ozawa Sake Brewery, known for its signature Tokyo-made sake, and traditional aizome (indigo dyeing) workshops.

Beyond the township, outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to enjoy. Ome offers plenty of fruit-picking farms, riverside kayaking, cycling, and trekking routes that wind through the area and into nearby Mt. Mitake and its gorge. The city also hosts vibrant seasonal festivals and is especially stunning in autumn, when its forests blaze with color.

Whether you’re after scenic trails, riverside picnics, or a stroll through Japan’s retro past, Ome delivers a refreshing slice of small-town Tokyo with big old-school appeal.
