The city emblem and the flag were adopted on Oct 1st 2005 by Notice No 1. The light blue flag has a blue, a green and an orange three color city emblem in the center. The city emblem is a stylized hiragana に Ni of Nikaho. It represents an image of the people in abundant natural circumstances who strongly bounds to the future and a dreamful, a rich and a vital city.
The flag proportion is 2:3. The length (not height) of the emblem is 4/9 of the length of the flag.

Following the specifications available on the city website, I modified the current flag we have here. The background color of the flag is DIC 576, but only at 25% opacity.

The character き “ki” in hiragana is stylized to symbolize the town's peace and progress.
