Ōgaki
Japan
Ōgaki, city, Gifu ken (prefecture), Honshu, Japan, on the Ibi River. The site was settled in prehistoric times, but the present city developed around the castle built in 1535. Since the end of the Meiji period (1868–1912), Ōgaki has become a textile and chemical centre aided by abundant groundwater. Machinery is also produced, and rice is grown in the environs. In Ōgaki Park are the reconstructed castle, the Tokiwa Shrine, a museum, and a gymnasium. Pop. (2005) 162,070; (2010) 161,160.
