Mibu, Historical town in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan
Located 90 kilometers north of Tokyo, Mibu encompasses 61 square kilometers of territory with flat terrain and rice paddy fields covering one-third of its area.
During the Edo period, Mibu Domain operated under Tokugawa administration, with Mibu-shuku functioning as a post station on the branch of Nikko Kaido connecting Edo to Nikko shrines.
The Mibumachi Toy Museum features Japanese doll collections, model train displays, and interactive exhibits that reflect the region's manufacturing legacy.
The town maintains eight primary schools, two middle schools, and one high school, while transportation needs are served by the Tobu Railway Utsunomiya Line.
The town contains five certified National Historic Sites, including the ancient burial mounds of Atagozuka, Azuma, Chausuyama, Kurumazuka, and Ushizuka Kofun.
