Niimi, City hall in northwestern Okayama Prefecture, Japan
Niimi extends across 793 square kilometers of mountainous terrain in the Chugoku Mountains, with Mount Hanami reaching 1,188 meters in elevation.
The Niimi clan governed northern Bitchu during the Kamakura period, establishing a castle before the area transferred to Toji temple control in Kyoto.

The city maintains 17 elementary schools, seven junior high schools, and one public high school, serving an estimated population of 27,106 residents.
The region contains multiple limestone formations, including Ikura-do Cave, Maki-do Cave, and the Rashomon Stone Arch Gate natural structures.
