Chibu (知夫村, Chibu-mura, Chibu-son) is a village located on Chiburijima (知夫里島) in the Dōzen group of islands in the Oki District, Shimane Prefecture, Japan.
The caldera of the volcano collapsed, leaving three main islands in a ring formation.
The nearest weather station is located in Ama on the nearby island of Nakanoshima.
Chibujima was composed of 7 hamlets: Kōri (郡), Nibu (仁夫), Ōe (大江), Tataku (多沢), Usuge (薄毛), Kurii (来居), and Urumi (古海), which were united to form Chibu Village in 1909.
The village is served by a sea port located in Kurii which provides ship transportation among the three islands of the Dozen group, to Okinoshima, and to the mainland.
