Nishiawakura, Rural village in Aida district, Japan
Located in northeastern Okayama Prefecture, Nishiawakura extends across 57.97 square kilometers of land bordered by Hyogo and Tottori Prefectures.
The village was established on June 1, 1889, as part of Yoshino District before being incorporated into Aida District of Okayama Prefecture in 1900.
The community maintains strong ties to forestry and woodworking industries, with forests covering 95 percent of the village territory in the Chugoku Mountains.
Nishiawakura connects to major transportation routes through the Chizu Express Line's two stations and provides access to the Tottori Expressway and Route 373.
The village retained its independent status when neighboring municipalities merged into Mimasaka city in 2005, preserving its distinct administrative identity.
