It is located in the present-day city of Ōgaki, Gifu Prefecture, Japan.
Sandwiched between the Nagara and Ibi rivers, it was an active post station.
The area flourished as a post station even before the establishment of the Minoji.
During the Muromachi period, the town was a stop on the Kamakura Kaidō, which connected Kyoto with Kamakura.
Ruins of the honjin and sub-honjin can still be seen in the city.
