History

Ōme Station opened on 19 November 1894 with the Ōme Railway's Tachikawa–Ōme section; the company later became Ōme Electric Railway. The current head-office-cum-station building dates from 1924. The line was nationalised on 1 April 1944, freight ended on 16 May 1962, and the station passed to JR East at the 1987 privatisation. On 2 March 2005 the station was relaunched as the "Retro Station" Ōme with Shōwa-era decor, and on 29 March 2005 its departure melody was changed to the theme from the anime Himitsu no Akko-chan. New platforms 3 and 4 opened on 18 March 2023 to support the 2024 introduction of 12-car trains with Green Cars.

Notes

Because the names look similar, performers due at Zepp Tokyo (near Aomi Station in Kōtō, a venue since closed) repeatedly turned up at Ōme by mistake; JR East has posted large "This is Ōme Station" signs since 25 January 2019 to redirect them.
