On the old Ōme Highway, just outside of Ōme Station, daruma are sold in mass at the nearly 200-year-old Ōme Daruma Market.
As well as stalls that are open from 1:30 p.m. until the evening, you can also watch daruma being burnt on the precincts of Sumiyoshi Shrine (a 3-minute walk from the station) — look out for a free gift if you offer up your own daruma doll. The burning will take place from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
How to get there
Ōme Station can be reached directly on the Chūō Line from Tokyo Station in under 1.5 hours and from Shinjuku Station in around an hour.
