The town emblem was adopted on Mar 31st 2006 but there is no flag law. The white flag has an orange, a green, a blue three color town emblem in the center. The town emblem is a stylized hiragana さ Sa of Sayo. It represents the town people who spreads their hands and an image of a rich green and fresh streams looking their best in the sun.
