Hima in Japanese means "free time," "leisure," or "spare time".

In Japanese the word Hima can also mean, "vacation', "holiday," or "time off".

And as an na-adjective, "hima na" means "free" or "not busy,".

Although in some contexts, hima can also imply, "boring," or "idle, particularly when someone is not doing anything.

Example if someone says,「暇だ」 (hima da), it can imply that the person has nothing to do.

And when used in the phrase of "hima da" (暇だ), it can mean "I'm bored" or "I have too much free time".

For time off holiday, hima can refer to a period of time when a person is not working.

For example, 旅行をする暇がない (ryokou o suru hima ga nai) means "I don't have the time to travel".

And for free time/leisure, Hima refers to having time, which is not occupied by obligations.

Examples include, 暇なとき (hima na toki) means "leisure time".

And 暇なら手伝ってくれ (hima nara tetsudatte kure) means "If you have free time, help me".
