To prevent the inside and outside of an apparatus from being stained by toner adhering to a shutter of a toner container.

An image forming apparatus according to the present invention includes a toner container 18 that has a shutter 32 for closing an exhaust port 31 in an openable and closable manner, and a storage part 25 that stores the toner container 18.
