Toki (土岐市) is a city in Gifu Prefecture with an area of ​​116.16 square kilometers, about 70% of which is mountainous. The city is known as one of the largest producers of Japanese ceramics, commonly known as Mino pottery.

During the Edo period, most of this area was under the direct control of the Tokugawa shogunate. After the Meiji Restoration, and with the cadastral reforms that resulted in the creation of the modern municipal system, Toki Village was created within Gifu Prefecture on July 1, 1889.

On November 5 of the same year, Toki Village was incorporated as a city and renamed Tokitsu. On February 1, 1955, Tokitsu Village was incorporated as Toki City. Until then, the area was divided into five towns (Tokitsu, Oroshi, Tsumaki, Dachi, and Izumi) and three villages (Tsurusato, Sogi, and Hida).
