The 3rd Ome Machi Roge 2025

Overview

The 3rd Ome Machi Roge 2025 is a 4-hour outdoor rogaining event held on Sunday, October 5, 2025, at the Ome Chamber of Commerce and Industry (373-1 Uemachi, Ome City, Tokyo, Japan). Organized by the Ome Machi Roge Tournament Secretariat ([email protected]), this event takes place in Ome City, a suburban/semi-rural area in western Tokyo, just 90 minutes from central Tokyo, known for its Showa-era retro streets, historic temples, and natural attractions like Mount Mitake and the Tama River (,,). Participants navigate checkpoints across Ome’s urban and natural landscapes using a 1:12,500 scale A3 map, competing in Solo (18+), General Team (2–4 people, 16+ with conditions), or Family Team (2–4 people, including one under junior high and one 18+) categories. The event has a capacity of 200 people, with registration open from July 4 to September 19, 2025, via https://ome-machiroge.com/. Participation fees are 3,000 yen/adult, 1,000 yen/junior and high school students, and free for elementary and younger (insurance included). Awards include 1st–3rd per category, with participation prizes TBD. Unlike traditional rogaining, participants can use trains and buses within the competition area, enhancing accessibility. Described on X as “a nostalgic treasure hunt through Ome’s Showa streets and nature,” the event offers a unique blend of urban exploration (e.g., Ome Juku, Showa Retro Goods Museum) and natural beauty (e.g., Kamanofuchi Park, Sumiyoshi Shrine), with local dining options like O-neeto curry (~1,000 yen) ().
