Ome station and the old town

Start around Ome Station and explore the older townscape and small cultural stops. Choose one open venue and a cafe rather than rushing onward to several mountain districts.

A simple way to visit

  1. Collect a current map near the station.
  2. Choose one cultural stop and a short street circuit.
  3. Have a meal before returning or transferring onward.

Make the most of your visit

Check that a named museum is currently open before planning around it. The photo shows Ome-Honcho streets, not a guarantee that every shop is operating.

Rainy-day planning

A town visit with one indoor cultural stop is an alternative to a gorge walk; check the venue first.
