Oe Town stretches long and narrow from east to west, from the western edge of the Yamagata Basin to Mt. Koasahi in the Asahi Mountains. From the Genroku era to the Taisho era it prospered as a relay point for river transport on the Mogami River, and Aterazawa, the town center, has the terminal station of the JR Aterazawa Line. From the ruins of Aterazawa Tateyama Castle, visitors can see the winding Mogami River.
