History

Historically, the Ōgaki area had been a highly important point of transit from Mino Province to Ōmi Province; it was vital to Saitō Dōsan and later to Oda Nobunaga. In the Edo period, the domain changed hands several times before it was given to the Toda clan, who held it until the Meiji Restoration.

Letter on Imperial stationery, signed by Toda Ujitaka, extending an invitation for Italian naval attaché Ernesto Burzagli to come to a reception attended by Emperor Meiji at the conclusion of the Russo-Japanese War (1906).

The Ōgaki Domain took part in the Boshin War, first on the side of the Shogunate, and then as one of the components of the imperial army which was at the forefront of the offensive against Aizu and the northern domains.[1]

In the Meiji period, the Toda family of Ōgaki received the rank of viscount (伯爵 hakushaku) in the new kazoku nobility.
