Imari (伊万里市, Imari-shi) is a city located in Saga Prefecture on the island of Kyushu, Japan.

On August 15, 1281 the 2nd Mongol invasion fleet retreated into Imari Bay and was destroyed here by Kamikaze typhoon.

High quality goods presented to Shōgun and the Imperial Court were produced in what is now called Ōkawachiyama and were styled Nabeshima ware.

Following the Meiji restoration, the town of Imari and the villages of Higashiyamashiro, Kurokawa, Makishima, Matsuura, Minamihata, Niri, Nishiyamashiro, Ōdake, Ōkawa, Ōkawachi and Ōtsubo were established with the creation of the modern municipalities system.

Imari has a mayor-council form of government with a directly elected mayor and a unicameral city council of 21 members.

In terms of national politics, the city is part of the Saga 2nd district of the lower house of the Diet of Japan.

Agriculture is thriving, including rice, green onions, mandarin oranges, pears, and grapes.

Imari is the largest Japanese pear producing center in western Japan.

Thanks to the adoption of light sensor systems for fruit sorting, only those which are of excellent quality can be selected and are shipped to Kantō, Kansai, and Kyūshū districts.
