Otsuka Station is conveniently located approximately 12 minutes from the bustling Tokyo transportation hub, Shinjuku, and just one stop away from the renowned Ikebukuro. Upon exiting the station, the distinctive OMO5 Tokyo Otsuka comes into view. Otsuka is also the exclusive route for Tokyo's only streetcar, the Tokyo Sakura Tram, creating a rare urban spectacle when the streetcars intersect. The juxtaposition of modern buildings with traditional Japanese charm forms a unique cityscape. Into the hall, one can find seating areas inspired by the Tokyo Sakura Tram, featuring playful designs incorporating station signs and tram handle rings, cleverly highlighting the local character.
The “OMO Base” public space features a design with large windows that allow in natural light, warm tones, and wooden elements, creating a pure and bright atmosphere. As night falls, it transforms into a charming venue playing nostalgic songs from the 70s to 80s, complemented by vinyl record decorations by the windows, creating a lively ambiance. The “YAGURA ROOM” guest rooms blend Japanese and modern styles. The cleverly designed 6-square-meter rooms utilize bunk beds to create well-thought-out personal spaces. Storage cabinets under the stairs and wooden grids on the walls provide ample space for various items, maximizing the use of space. The large windows in the room allow guests to leisurely enjoy the street view outside and experience the changing play of light and shadow.
Otsuka is lined with charming private shops. Even if you can't get into a shop in a travel destination, you can enjoy it with your OMO Ranger.
