Yui (由比町 Yui-chō) was a town located in Ihara District, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan.
On November 1, 2008, Yui was merged into Shimizu-ku, a ward in the city of Shizuoka. Because of this and another merger, Ihara District dissolved.[1] At the time of its merger, the town had an estimated population of 9,085 and a density of 394.5 persons per km². The total area was 23.03 km².
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.
Yui is served by Yui Station on the Tōkaidō Main Line.
