Oma, Fishing town in Shimokita Peninsula, Japan.
Located at the northernmost tip of Honshu, Oma extends over 52 square kilometers with a population density of 93 inhabitants per square kilometer.
The area changed from Ōoku Village to Oma Town in 1942, following its earlier establishment through the merger of Oma and Okudo hamlets in 1889.
The town celebrates the Blue Marine festival each August 14th with tuna carving demonstrations, music performances, traditional dances, and fireworks.
Visitors can reach Oma via buses from Mutsu Bus Terminal, running every one to two hours with a journey time of 90 minutes.
The fishing port gained international recognition when a local 489-pound bluefin tuna sold for 1.76 million dollars at a Tokyo auction.
