The town emblem was adopted on Apr 18th 1965 but there is no flag law. The purple flag has a white town emblem in the center and the kanji name in white vertically at the hoist. The town emblem is a stylized hiragana は Ha of Haebaru in a flying bird. The cap of waves symbolizes River Kokuba. It represents the town’s peace, reconciliation, solidarity, cooperation, the industrial culture's surge and extension.
