[h3]About the Route[/h3]
The Ōme Line is a 37.2 km long line connecting Tachikawa Station in Tachikawa City, Tōkyō, and Okutama Station in Okutama-town, Nishitama-county, Tōkyō. The line runs through residential areas from Tachikawa Station to Ōme Station, but from Ōme Station onward it runs along the Tama River through the mountains. The area between Ōme Station and Okutama Station is known as the Adventure Line, and although it is in Tōkyō, it is an area where visitors can enjoy abundant nature and activities right after getting off the station.
The “Holiday Rapid Okutama” train used to run directly from Shinjuku Station to Okutama Station on holidays, but the train line is now separated at Ōme Station, and the “Holiday Rapid Okutama” between Ōme and Okutama Stations is operated as a temporary train.
After leaving Tachikawa Station, the train runs through a residential area until it reaches Ōme Station. On the way, the train passes through Nishi-Tachikawa Station, the nearest station to the Shōwa Kinen Park and Haijima Station, a major transportation hub. There are many trains to Ōme Station, and the line is double-tracked up to the Higashi- Ōme Station area.
After leaving Ōme Station, trains travel along the valley along the Tama River to Okutama Station. The scenery is very different from the scenery up to Ōme Station, with a single-track line and lush greenery of trees and mountains.
The Okutama area is also home to a number of tourist attractions such as canoeing and ranching, and the entire Okutama line has been converted into a hotel, called the “Along railway line marugoto Hotel” .
We hope you will enjoy the Ōme Line, which has two distinctive features a double track running through a residential area and a single track running through the mountains.
