Hiezu, Village in Saihaku District, Japan
Hiezu is a village in the Saihaku district region that stretches along the coast of Miho Bay. The settlement sits on the Sea of Japan, with the Hino River flowing through its eastern area.
The village was formed in 1889 through the merger of three smaller settlements: Hiezu, Tomiyoshi, and Imayoshi. These places had previously been under the rule of Tottori Domain before being consolidated.
The village emblem features the katakana character ヒ, representing the first syllable of the place's name and reflecting the residents' connection to their community. This symbol shapes the visual identity of the settlement and appears throughout public spaces.
The village has an elementary school and a junior high school as its main educational facilities. National Routes 9 and 431 serve as the primary transportation corridors and enable movement through and around the settlement.
In 2006, residents voted against merging with Yonago city and maintained their independence. This makes them one of the few remaining independent settlements in the Tottori region.
