The city emblem and the flag were adopted on Aug 25th 2005 by Notice No 145. The white flag has a green city emblem in the center. The city emblem is a stylized kanji 田 Ta of Tamura. It represents an image of the city which is shining and developing unlimitedely as a highland city enveloped with green nature. The height of the emblem is 3/5 of height of the flag. The flag law does not mention the flag proportion which is unusual.

The design incorporates the kanji character for “great” (大) and the katakana character for “koe” (コエ); the wings symbolize soaring, while the circle represents harmony, cooperation, and growth.
