Niijima (新島村 Niijima-mura?) is a village located in the northern Izu Islands, Ōshima Subprefecture, Tokyo Metropolis, Japan. As of 1 June 2016[update], the village had an estimated population of 2,697 and a population density of 97.9 persons per km². Its total area was 27.54 square kilometres (10.63 sq mi)
The village of Niijima consists of the inhabited islands of Niijima and Shikinejima, the uninhabited islands of Udoneshima and Jinai-tō, and numerous small rocks in the northern Izu archipelago.
On October 1, 1923, the islands of Niijima and SHikinejima were organized into municipalities. Niijima was administered as Niijimahon (新島本村 Niijima-honson?, lit. "Niijima Main Village"). Shikenejima was administered as Wakagō (若郷村 Wakagō-mura?). Both villages belonged to Ōshima Island Government Office. In 1926, the Ōshima Island Government Office became Ōshima Subprefecture of Tokyo. On November 1, 1954, Niijimahon absorbed the village of Wakagō, and changed its name to Niijima Village on April 1, 1992.
