Ibi district, Administrative district in Gifu Prefecture, Japan
Ibi district encompasses three main towns: Ibigawa, Ikeda, and Ono, forming an extensive administrative area. The region is connected by a network of national highways that link residential areas and neighboring regions throughout the prefecture.
The district was established in 1897 and underwent major changes in 2005 when several villages merged with Ibigawa. The construction of Tokuyama Dam later permanently altered the region's geography.
The area preserves traditional papermaking and pottery crafts that remain visible in local workshops and daily life, passed down through generations.
The area is well connected by national highways, making it easy to travel between the three main towns. Visitors should plan to use private transport or buses, as public transit options may be limited in some areas.
The construction of Tokuyama Dam submerged former village areas, permanently reshaping the district's physical landscape. This transformation remains visible in how the water has altered the terrain and the local geography.
