Town outline

Yui was well known for cherry shrimp (桜海老, sakura-ebi), a small variety of shrimp found in Suruga Bay.

Yui's flag displayed the character "由" to represent the town and 12 stamens; one for each of the wards. These are contained within orange blossoms, a special product of Yui. Around the flower, a seagull represents peace and equality. Yui's symbols were the bush warbler, fragrant olive, and cherry blossoms.

The town had two elementary schools and one junior high school.
