Oma Port was constructed during the Meiji period, 1868-1911, to facilitate the shipment of ores and materials used in mining.

During the early 20th Century, Oma Port was continually updated through the addition of new facilities such as crane pedestals and loader piers.

Most of the port facilities have been demolished but one can still see vestiges of the port from its heyday in the remaining pedestals and embankment constructed.

The Oma port in 1935 is here.
