The town emblem was adopted on Jul 1st 1961 by Notice No 19 but there is no flag law. The green flag has a white town emblem in the center. The town emblem is a stylized kanji 五戸 Gonohe. It represents a solidarity and a development of the town.

The design is based on the hiragana characters for “kuraishi” くらいし; the circle symbolizes peace and cooperation within the village, while the inner design represents development and a bountiful harvest.
