The city emblem was adopted on Mar 21st 2006 but there is no flag law. The white flag has a green, a blue and a light blue three color city emblem in the center. The city emblem is stylized hiragana のしろ Noshiro. It depicts the wave of Japan Sea and a row of mountains of Shirakami. it represents an image of the environmental city blessed with nice waters and greens which makes a leap forward to the bright future.

The design is based on the kanji character for “two” (二); the sharp angles represent the town’s development and future, while the circular shape symbolizes the harmony among its residents.
