2025 Oma Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

Access: 1 hour by car from Shimokita Station on the JR Shimokita Line Tourist attractions: Many shops and tuna bowl restaurants in the area Oma Cape is the northernmost point of Honshu. As you drive along the coastline, you will suddenly come across a monument and something like a small observation deck. On a clear day, you can see Hokkaido on the opposite shore. There are about 10 restaurants serving Oma tuna bowls in the area, and there is also a parking lot for them. I recommend parking your car there and doing a quick sightseeing. Tuna bowls are tourist prices, about 2500-3000 yen. They also sell fatty tuna for takeaway, but it's not particularly cheap. #Domestic travel #Aomori #Cape #Oma #Northernmost point of Honshu

[This is the monument marking the northernmost tip of Honshu] I was moved just to be standing at the northernmost tip of Honshu✨ The statue of a tuna and a fist pump is based on the motif of a single-line tuna fishery. Facing the statue, a fishing flag was fluttering and kelp was being dried⭐️ There is a shop where you can rent a scallop swimsuit to pray for safety at sea and a good catch, so if you are interested, try wearing one and take a commemorative photo😄 You can also buy a certificate of reaching the northernmost tip of Honshu here⭐️ 📍Location: Oma Oma-daira, Oma-machi, Shimokita-gun, Aomori Prefecture 🕰️Opening hours: 24 hours 💰Price per person: Free #Northernmost tip of Honshu #Aomori #Oma #Aomori trip #0 yen trip November

The other day, I was served some Oma tuna at a sushi restaurant 🍣 It was so delicious that I went to this town at the northernmost tip of Honshu. There are no highways and it takes nearly three hours from Misawa Airport. It was a struggle to get there, but the tuna bowl (about 4,000 yen) I had at Omanzoku was really delicious. I was only able to get one piece at a sushi restaurant, so I was happy to be able to eat so much. Sea urchin is in season in June, so I also had some raw sea urchin there, which was great! It's quite far, so I recommend planning your schedule carefully. #domestictrip

I took an overnight trip to Oma and Mount Osore, one of Japan's three major sacred sites. The biggest problem was getting to Oma. Public transport was not time-efficient, so I decided to rent a car from Misawa Airport and drive from Oma to Mount Osore, then drop off at Shichinohe-Towada Station. I wanted to stay the night in Aomori City and drop off at Aomori Station, but the fee was high, so I decided to drop off at Shichinohe-Towada Station. I ordered a tuna platter at Hamazushi, a popular restaurant in Oma. Not only the lean and medium fatty tuna, but also the tuna roll was very delicious. On the way back, I stopped off at Mount Osore, and the smell of sulfur and the fantastic scenery were refreshing. The mountain will be closed from November, so it's best to consider the time of year if you plan to visit. It takes 2.5 hours non-stop from Misawa Airport to Oma, and there is no highway, so it will take more than five hours round trip, so you may need to be prepared.

A black and white lighthouse can be seen from the tip of Cape Oma. The black and white contrast makes it easier to see in the snow. The lighthouse, which stands as if floating in the deep indigo sea with the land of Hokkaido in the background, somehow exudes a sense of melancholy, perhaps enhanced by the cold sea breeze blowing in from the north. #AutumnTrip #AccommodationReview #BreathtakingView #GourmetTrip #Gourmet #Tokyo #Gourmet

Today, I went to Omazaki, the northernmost point of Honshu, famous for landing bluefin tuna, in search of tuna. 🌊 Beyond the Omazaki Lighthouse, you can see Mount Hakodate, still covered in a thin layer of snow. 🏔 The people who came by motorbike seem to be feeling good after catching a cold 🏍 There aren't that many, but there are plenty of restaurants. The fatty tuna bowls and seafood bowls melt in your mouth! #foodtrip #greatviews #drivetrip

I finally made it to the northernmost point, Cape Soya!!!☆ The northernmost point was even colder in the blizzard, but my heart was happy!!!☆☆☆
