The city emblem was adopted on Apr 26th 1927 by Notice No 34 but there is no flag law. The white flag has a black city emblem in the center. The city emblem is a stylized old style kanji 會 Ai of Aizuwakamatsu which had been used as a war banner of Aizu Domain and a shoulder mark at the Boshin Civil War. It represents citys history and the tradition and the harmony of the citizen.

The kanji character “北” (north) is stylized to symbolize the villagers' peace, harmony, courage, and pride. The village name, written in maroon kanji, is inscribed vertically near the hoist.
