The park's sand was imported from the Kozushima and Niijima islands in the Izu chain.
The beach is designed to emulate the historic 'Omori' shoreline, which was once a major center for nori (seaweed) production in the Edo period.
The park serves as a hub for local environmental education regarding the marine ecosystem of Tokyo Bay.
It was specifically constructed to provide citizens access to the waterfront in a region heavily dominated by port facilities.
The park includes an exhibit documenting the history of the local seaweed industry.
Ōmori Furusato-no-Hamabe Riverside Park is a man-made beach and recreational space located along the Uchikawa River estuary in Ōta, Tokyo. The park features a reclaimed sandy beach, which is a rare sight within the industrial coastal zones of Tokyo Bay. Facilities include a multi-purpose field for futsal and volleyball, alongside dedicated observation areas. The area was developed to restore the traditional landscape of the historic Omori seaweed harvesting grounds. Visitors can walk along the tidal flats during low tide or utilize the park's walking trails. The park integrates flood control infrastructure with public leisure space.

Bring a hat and sunscreen as there is limited natural shade on the beach itself.
Check the local tide charts before visiting if you wish to walk on the tidal flats.
The futsal and volleyball courts generally require advance registration through the local municipal system if you intend to use them exclusively.
Do not expect a typical swimming beach; the water quality is monitored for safety but full-body immersion is strictly restricted.
Swimming is prohibited at the beach; wading or playing in the sand is allowed. Do not take sand or shells home from the park.
