OTA-KU

A wonderful mix of high-tech manufacturing and friendly downtown living

Enjoy technology, culture, and nature in perfect harmony in Ota

Despite being home to some of the world’s leading manufacturing companies and Haneda Airport (Tokyo International Airport), Ota Ward is also a great place to live. Located in the southeast of Tokyo surrounded by Tokyo Bay and the Tama River, Ota takes up the largest area of Tokyo’s 23 wards with rivers, parks, and beaches to counterbalance the more industrial areas.

A high-tech vibe pervades the busier areas, where products like satellites and smartphones are made with the exceptional quality that’s characteristic of Japanese manufacturing. But Ota has a lot to offer residents, from shopping streets to nature spots.

There are approximately 150 shopping streets, or shotengai, in Ota, which is more than anywhere else in Tokyo. The quaint shops, unique streets, and super-friendly locals give Ota a nostalgic, down-to-earth quality, making one forget that it’s one of Tokyo’s major industrial areas.

The busiest area is Kamata, famous for its many public baths—there are 45 bathhouses total in the ward—and wonderful dining/entertaining options. In Kamata alone, there are 12 shotengai, featuring 7,500 shops for residents to choose from.

Another notable neighborhood, Haneda, is a great place to grab a bite to eat, particularly for traditional cuisine like sushi and tempura, made with recipes straight from the city’s Edo heritage. Haneda also boasts quite a few shotengai, so visitors can get their last-minute souvenir shopping done before leaving Japan from Haneda Airport.

As for a dose of nature, Ota does not disappoint. The Omori Furusato Hamabe Park is just a 15-minute walk from Heiwajima Station, where Ota residents like to dip their feet in the water (swimming isn’t allowed) enjoy the ocean breeze.

The Tama River is another nice spot to stroll and from there, visitors can check out Ikegami Honmonji Temple or head to the pond at Senzoku-ike.

Learn the language at one of Ota’s high-quality Japanese schools

With an affordable cost of living, Ota is an ideal place for students looking to study Japanese.

Westcoast Language School, established in 1989, is authorized by the Association for the Promotion of Japanese Language Education of Eligibility and conveniently located just three minutes from Kugahara Station.
