Sanbu district, Administrative district in Chiba Prefecture, Japan

Sanbu District extends across 134 square kilometers of land in Chiba Prefecture, containing three municipalities: Kujukuri, Shibayama, and Yokoshibahikari.

The district emerged on April 1, 1897, through the consolidation of Yamabe District and Musha District during the administrative reforms of the Meiji period.

The district maintains strong agricultural traditions within its communities, reflecting the broader regional characteristics of Chiba Prefecture's rural landscape.

The district recorded a population of 49,488 residents as of January 2013, resulting in a population density of 369 persons per square kilometer.

The March 2006 merger of multiple towns within Sanbu District led to the creation of Sanmu City, demonstrating Japan's municipal restructuring initiatives.
