Iburi Subprefecture, Administrative division in Hokkaido, Japan.
The Iburi Subprefecture extends over 9,698 square kilometers in south-central Hokkaido, featuring 218 kilometers of Pacific Ocean coastline and mountainous terrain.
Originally established as Muroran Subprefecture in 1897, the region received its current name Iburi in 1922, reflecting administrative reorganization in Hokkaido.
The eleven municipalities within Iburi Subprefecture maintain local traditions through festivals, Ainu cultural heritage sites, and traditional fishing practices along the coast.
The region contains multiple transportation hubs, including Tomakomai Port and Muroran Port, facilitating trade and industrial activities throughout southern Hokkaido.
Natural hot springs in Noboribetsu and Lake Toya's volcanic formations demonstrate the active geothermal characteristics that define this section of Hokkaido.
