Ōmori : ウィキペディア英語版
Ōmori, Ōta, Tokyo

is a district located a few kilometres south of Shinagawa, Tokyo, Japan accessed by rail via the Keihin Tohoku line, or by road via Dai Ichi Keihin. Ōmorikaigan, the eastern area of Ōmori, can be reached via the Keikyu line.
Ōmori is one of many areas in Tokyo's largest ward, Ota-ku, and was formerly home to the German International School before its relocation to Yokohama. High quality residential and retail developments that the German school attracted are present in the Ōmori-sannō area. Ōmori is home to the headquarters of the automotive company Isuzu, which has offices in the Belport complex a few hundred metres from Ōmori station.
Prior to its development as a convenient residential and business location, Ōmori was laced with a network of small rivers which were used by many locals for drying harvested nori (seaweed), a staple of the Japanese diet. Modern Ōmori is built on mostly reclaimed land, and is very much a traditional Shinto area; there are many shrines in the area, and during the August o-bon festival, mikoshi parades are very common.
Ōmori-sannō, to the west of Ōmori station, is an upscale neighbourhood compared to the other side of the tracks, and Ōmori-sannō is known to be traditionally an area where Japanese poets, philosophers and writers have made their home.
== World War 2 Prisoner of War Camp ==
Ōmori was the site of an army administered prisoner-of-war camp during World War II. The camp was brutal and housed some of the most vicious Japanese war criminals, such as Mutsuhiro Watanabe. Local anti-militarist Japanese civilians sometimes helped the prisoners with small gifts of food.〔O'Kane, Richard H. ''Clear the Bridge! The War Patrols of the USS Tang'' London Macdonald & Jane's 1978 pp465-6 ISBN 0354011855〕 The conditions in the camp violated pretty much all of the Geneva convention and humiliation, torture, beatings and starvation of PoWs were a daily occurrence in the camp. The inhumane conditions in the camp were described in detail in the award winning book Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption describing the life of American Olympic Athlete Louis Zamperini.
Like in other Japanese Prisoner of War camps, medical experiments were carried out on the prisoners.
