Ōmachi (大町市 Ōmachi-shi?) is a city located in northwest Nagano Prefecture, in the Chūbu region of Japan. As of 1 October 2016[update], the city had an estimated population of 27,587 and a population density of 48.8 persons per km². Its total area was 565.15 square kilometres (218.21 sq mi).
Ōmachi is located west of Nagano, the capital of Nagano Prefecture, in the Daihoku District (大北地域 Daihoku-chiiki?) of the prefecture. The 3000 meter Northern Japanese Alps (or Hida Mountains) are to the west ranges to the west of the city and mountains of around 1000 meters form the eastern border. The Takase River runs through the city, which is located in the northern Matsumoto basin.
The Itoigawa-Shizuoka Tectonic Line active fault system is also running through the city.
Due to its elevation, Omachi lies at the junction of three different climate types, namely the humid continental climate (Köppen Dfa/Dfb), humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cfa) and, uniquely for Japan, the subtropical highland climate (Köppen Cfb). Winters are cold and very snowy, while summers are very warm and wet.
