Hoi District

Hoi District was a former administrative division in Aichi Prefecture that covered the eastern part of Mikawa region. The area contained several municipalities and settlements linked by local transportation routes.

The district was established in 1878 during the Meiji period as an independent administrative unit in the Mikawa region. Over the course of the 20th century, it underwent several administrative reforms that eventually led to its dissolution.

The district headquarters operated from Goyu-shuku, a station along the Tokaido route, which connected various municipalities through transportation networks.

The district no longer exists as a separate administrative unit today, having been dissolved through municipal consolidations. Those interested in exploring its history can find information in local archives and museums of the surrounding areas that now occupy this former territory.

The area was home to Goyu-shuku, an important post station along the historic Tokaido route that connected travelers and goods between different parts of Japan. This strategic location made it a hub for commerce and travel during the Edo and Meiji periods.
