Ome Railway Park

The Ome Railway Park is on top the hill north of Ome station. It's location provided a challenge in delivering some of the stock, especially the Shinkansen car. There are several locomotives outside and a small museum building, with models and other displays. It was opened in 1962 by JNR to celebrate 90 years of Japanese Railways.
