The city emblem was adopted on August 27th 1909 but there is no flag law. The white flag is charged with a red city emblem in the center. The flag proportions are 2:3.
The city emblem is a stylized kanji 井 I of the former city name of 井の口 Inoguchi.

The design features the letter “Y” at its center, surrounded by the letter “S”—the initials of the two former villages—symbolizing the harmony between the two districts and the town’s future development following the merger.
