Morning walk around KAMATA DISTRICT - TOKYO❗

Kamata location :

Kamata (蒲田) is a district of Ōta, Tokyo, Japan. Features include the Kamata Station, Kamata High School, and the headquarters of Toyoko Inn.

History
The name "Kamata" has been used to refer to the area since at least the 900s AD. Historically, the area was famous for Japanese apricots (ume).

Kamata was first linked to nearby towns of Kawasaki, Kanagawa and Ōmori, Tokyo by rail in 1901 with the opening of Kamata Station (now Keikyu Kamata Station) on the Keihin Electric Railway. This was followed in 1904 by the opening of a separate Kamata Station on the Tokaido Line providing connection to Tokyo and Yokohama.

Kamata became a ward of Tokyo City in October 1932, incorporating the historical towns of Kamata, Yaguchi, Rokugo and Haneda. Kamata merged with the neighboring ward of Omori to form the ward (city) of Ota in March 1947.

Kamata, a District Where Urban Bustle Meets Japanese Culture

From shopping malls and arcades to that gem of Japanese culture, the hot spring spa, Kamata, with the most hot springs of any district in the 23 Wards of Tokyo, has it all.

The area around Kamata Station is a nerve center of public administration, with public agencies such as Ota Ward Office, a police station and a tax office clustered nearby, not to mention cultural facilities such as a library. Multiple shopping complexes and shopping streets can be found here, bringing the district a lively energy.

Ota Ward is dotted with hot springs called Kuroyu (“black geothermal waters”), of which color derives from the ancient vegetation melted into the mineral-rich underground water; this water is used by the area’s public baths.

Nearby Kamata Station, you can enjoy various natural hot springs while in Tokyo. Examples include Kamata Onsen and Yu City Kamata, low-cost spas outfitted with everything from group rest areas; and nu-land Sagamiyu, a spa that even offers a fishing package.
