Ogi (小城市 Ogi-shi?) is a city located in the central part of Saga Prefecture on the island of Kyushu, Japan.
As of February 1, 2010, the city has an estimated population of 45,387 and a population density of 475 persons per km². The total area is 95.85 km².
The modern city of Ogi was established on March 3, 2005, from the merger of the former town of Ogi, absorbing the towns of Ashikari, Mikatsuki and Ushizu (all from Ogi District). Ogi District was dissolved as a result of this merger.
It has gradually come to be known as the city with the highest consumption of yōkan in Japan.
Located in the central part of Saga Prefecture, Ogi borders the city of Saga. The heart of old Ushizu where the current City Hall is located is approximately 10 km due west of central Saga. The northern part of the city is a mountainous region that builds up to the mountain Tenzan, while the rest of the city consists of the low lying Saga Plains. The southern part of the city borders the Ariake Sea.
The closest airport is Saga Airport.
The primary rail station is Ushizu Station.
