Hiezu, Village in Saihaku District, Japan

Located on the coast of Miho Bay, Hiezu extends along the Sea of Japan with the Hino River flowing through its eastern section.

The village formed in 1889 through the consolidation of three smaller settlements: Hiezu, Tomiyoshi, and Imayoshi, previously under the control of Tottori Domain.

The village emblem incorporates the katakana character ヒ, representing the first syllable of Hiezu, symbolizing community growth and development.

The village maintains one elementary school and one junior high school, with National Routes 9 and 431 serving as primary transportation corridors.

In 2006, Hiezu residents voted against merging with Yonago city, remaining the single village in Tottori Prefecture with a population of 3,955 inhabitants.
