This is the central district of Hirakamachi, Yokote City, in southern Akita Prefecture. The former Asamai town became Hirakamachi in 1956 (Showa 31), and was merged into Yokote City in 2005 (Heisei 17). The name Asamai already appeared in the Middle Ages, and in the early modern period it was a post station on the Waki ​​Highway and a market town with morning markets on days ending in 1, 4, and 6, but today the markets are held on days ending in 1, 4, 6, and 8. Asamai Park is known as a famous spot for irises.
