Ota City Ward Area Guide: Best things to do, History, Areas & Hotels

Do you know about the Ota Ward in Tokyo? It is one of the 23 wards of Tokyo, with various unique neighbourhoods and areas, along with different things to do and sights to see. If you are wondering what is Ota ward, the different areas inside Ota, best things to do, history, accommodation and more, check out this ultimate Ota ward area guide. 

What is Ota City Ward? 

Ota City Ward What is Ota City Ward

Ota Ward is located at the southernmost tip of Tokyo’s 23 wards. Ota-ku is home to Haneda Airport, one of the largest airports in Japan and the gateway to the Tokyo skyline, and a stopover point for many visitors to Tokyo.

Needless to say, Ota-ku was named after the two major downtown areas of Omori and Kamata, and the fact that it is served by the sky-blue Keihin-Tohoku Line, which is famous as a line for transporting poor people, is probably not only due to my imagination, but also because of the presence of Akabane in Kita-ku, which is also located at the edge of Tokyo. 

On the other side of the Arakawa River is Kawasaki, one of the most heavily industrialised areas in eastern Japan, and on the other side is Kawaguchi, also one of the most concentrated foundry industries in Japan.

Ota-ku, located in front of Kawasaki, is also part of the Keihin Industrial Zone, and along with Kawasaki and Tsurumi, it is an industrial area with a downtown-like townscape centring on small and medium-sized factories, especially those of small and medium-sized companies, spreading out around the waterfront area. 

On the other hand, if you take the Tokyu Tamagawa Line from Kamata to the inland area, you will find Denenchofu, one of the most famous and exclusive residential areas in Japan. This disparity is tremendous even though they are in the same Ota Ward.

Furthermore, the mountainside of Omori is also a seriously exclusive area called Sanno. The Magome Bunshi Mura (literary village) was once located in this area, and the streets are filled with the aroma of culture. Kamata’s kuroyu (black hot spring) and winged dumplings, and the Gokai ceremony at Ikegami Honmonji Temple are the pride of Ota Ward residents, and the Jindai procession at the Jingmei Grand Shrine in Kojiya is another hidden speciality.

Living in Ota City Ward

Ota City Ward Living in Ota City Ward

In Ota Ward as a whole, Denenchofu, Sanno on the west side of Omori Station, and Magome, known as Magome Bunshi Mura (literary village), can be cited as seriously high-class residential areas, but the rest of the city is mostly downtown, and the Tokyu Ikegami and Tamagawa lines, not to mention the seaside from the Keihin-Tohoku line, are also well-known as residential areas. The atmosphere of the area where the Tokyu Ikegami Line and Tamagawa Line run is exclusively that of a commoner.

However, if you limit yourself to areas with high commuting convenience, the rougher areas on the ocean side are inevitably the choices. Even if they share the same name of Omori, the world is completely different between the highlands of Sanno, where the real celebrities live, and Heiwajima, a den of boat gambling old men and gangsters.

Just as Yamate-machi, a seriously upscale residential area, and Kotobukicho, a huge dodgy town, are located next to each other around Ishikawamachi Station on Yokohama’s Negishi Line, the contrast between the extremes of Yokohama and Ota Ward is similar in the image.

Like Kawasaki across the Tama River, Ota Ward has grown up between Tokyo and Yokohama, incorporating both urban cultures. The Keikyu Line, which runs to and from Haneda Airport, is divided between trains bound for central Tokyo and Yokohama, and the downtown area on the ocean side belongs to the Keihin industrial zone of Kawasaki and Tsurumi.

History of Ota City Ward

Ota City Ward History of Ota City Ward

Located at the tip of the Musashino Plateau and surrounded by the sea and rivers, the area has many archaeological sites such as the Omori Shell Mound and the Tamagawadai Tumulus Group, indicating that it is an area with a long and unbroken history from ancient times.

During the Edo period, the area was a busy transportation hub along the Tokaido Highway, and at the same time, as a farming and fishing village, nori (seaweed) cultivation flourished in the Omori and Haneda areas, which are close to the coast.

Since the Taisho Period, small and medium-sized factories have been located in the area, forming part of the Keihin Industrial Zone.

After the Great Kanto Earthquake, residential development progressed rapidly on the plateau, giving rise to new residential areas rich in greenery, such as Denenchofu, Yukigaya, and Kugahara.

In 1932, two wards, Omori and Kamata, were created, and in 1947, these two wards were merged and named Ota Ward, taking one letter from each.

From 1967 to 1992, Ota-ku expanded its area by reclaiming Tokyo Bay, and became the most extensive of the 23 wards, surpassing Setagaya-ku.

Areas of Ota City Ward

Kamata is a major entertainment district in Jonan, representing Ota Ward. The area in front of the station is a sleeping place for homeless people and Internet cafe refugees. Aum Takahashi also hides out here. 

The west exit of the station is home to a downtown arcade shopping street and Yuzawaya handicraft store. The Tokyu line, which has a completely different character, is in front of the station. After the black hot spring baths, try out the ever-booming feathered gyoza (dumplings with wings).

(2) Omori 大森

The west and east exits have completely different characteristics. The high-class residential area of Sanno and the drinking district of Jigokudani. The east exit is a downtown like Kamata. It is full of suspicious drinking establishments and izakayas.

The Nishi-Rokugō Park along the Keihin-Tohoku line is breathtaking. The shopping street in front of the station is downtown. The Jumbo Sagan Building, which houses the headquarters of OK Store, a supermarket serving the entire Tokyo metropolitan area.

The southernmost of the 23 wards of Tokyo. Surrounded by the lower reaches of the Tama River. Japan’s largest homeless village is located on the riverbed under Rokugo Bridge on the border with Kawasaki. A simple lodging house quietly remains in front of the station. The retro Rokugo hot springs, with their black water baths, are supreme.

(6) Umeyashiki and Omorimachi 梅屋敷・大森町

This is the home of a local new religion, Shinmei Daijingu. The fact that the founder’s family is a factory owner is typical of Ota Ward. The annual Jindai procession is a surprise even for Misuzu Gakuen.

(9) Otorii 大鳥居

The headquarters of Watami and Sega are located here. The radio wave house in Higashi-kohjiya 4-chome was a backstage speciality of the city, but it was demolished in 2011.

After the war, only the torii gate was left behind when it was confiscated by the U.S. military, and the shrine grounds were moved to this location. As the name Anamori suggests, the shrine was worshipped by prostitutes in the Edo period, but today many of the votive ema (votive picture tablets) are made by stitches and people in the aviation industry living in the neighbourhood.

Only the red torii gate of the Anamori Inari Shrine, which was confiscated after the war, remains. The Ebitorigawa and Tama Rivers are filled with the vestiges of fishing villages.

The “Okaeshiki Buddhist Service” held annually on October 11, 12, and 13, including the anniversary of Nichiren Shonin’s death, is the largest in Japan, attracting as many as 300,000 visitors on the evening of October 12.

This ancient temple is nicknamed “Ontake-san of Mine. It is said to have been built around 1535, when the current Mine-cho area was established. It is the first branch shrine of Kiso Ontake in the Kanto region, and it was said that “if you visit the Ontake Shrine in Mine three times, it is the same as visiting Kiso Ontake once. 

It is believed that the present Ontake Shopping Arcade and Ontake Station were developed from stores that were opened for worshippers. The main shrine, located in the centre of the precincts, is a designated cultural property of the ward. The carvings on the walls, which have survived since the end of the Edo period, are a sight to behold. In the back of the shrine, there is a forest named “Reishin-no-mori,” which creates a tranquil space that one would not expect to find in a shopping arcade.

The shrine’s history goes back to the time when she joined hands with the “Sengen Shrine” in the direction of Mt. Fuji on a clear day, and one can recall the view that the Hojo clan worshipped at the shrine. The red seal, whose design changes every month, is very popular.
