  Yurihama was created on October 1, 2004, after a merger of the towns of Hawai and Tōgō, and the village of Tomari, all from Tōhaku District.

context_section_description: The Hawai Plain lies within Yurihama, near the coastline of the Sea of Japan. It is a flat section of land stretching from the eastern bank of the Tenjin River to the environs of Tōgō Lake, and forms part of the greater Kurayoshi Plain. Many of the town's rice farming plots are located on the Hawai Plain. Besides this section of land, much of the inland areas within the town are mountainous.
  Tōgō Lake is a brackish lagoon in Yurihama, formed due to the sedimentation of the Tenjin River and the development of the Hōjō sand hills, cutting it off from the ocean. Natural hot springs occur at various temperatures in and around the lake itself.
