Ogano, Mountain town in Chichibu district, Japan.
Ogano extends across 171 square kilometers of mountainous terrain in western Saitama Prefecture, bordered by Chichibu city and Gunma Prefecture.
The town of Ogano was established in 1889 and expanded through mergers with Nagawaka in 1955, followed by Mitagawa and Kurao in 1956.
The Ogano Cultural Center displays traditional Kabuki costumes, wigs, and scripts, documenting the town's 220-year connection with rural theatrical performances.
Travelers can reach Ogano by taking an 80-minute train journey from Tokyo's Ikebukuro Station to Seibu-Chichibu Station, followed by local transportation.
Local farmers cultivate strawberries and operate fruit picking experiences during spring months, contributing to the town's agricultural identity.
