Niihama, Administrative division in Ehime Prefecture, Japan.
Niihama extends across 234 square kilometers along the Seto Inland Sea coast, with mountains framing its southern and eastern boundaries.
The establishment of copper mining operations in 1691 transformed Niihama from a fishing village into a major industrial transit port for metal shipments.
The Niihama Taiko Festival gathers residents for three days of traditional drumming performances and neighborhood float parades through the city streets.
The city maintains extensive manufacturing facilities and port operations, supporting industrial activities for copper, aluminum, chemicals, and machinery production.
Zuiō-ji Temple at the southern edge of Niihama provides meditation sessions and serves as a center for Zen Buddhist practices.
