Hiezu Village is surrounded by Yonago City on three sides and faces the Sea of Japan to the north. It is the only village in Tottori Prefecture and the smallest municipality there by area. It has never merged since the Meiji-era village system began. Farmland spreads east of the Hino River, and the large AEON MALL Hiezu is here.
