The town emblem was adopted on Feb 1st 2005 by Ordinance No 2 but there is no flag law. The white flag has town emblem of two colors green and blue in the center. The town emblem is a stylized E of Echizen. The green color stands for rich nature, mountains and lands and blue for sea bringing abundance of sea foods. As a whole it represents the town making progress for the future.
