Yokkaichi City

Yokkaichi City is the largest city in Mie Prefecture, Japan, facing Ise Bay and located within the Chukyo Industrial Zone—one of Japan's four major industrial core regions. It earned its name from hosting a market that opened on the fourth day of each month in earlier times. The city is surrounded by Nagoya Port and Yokkaichi Port and is committed to becoming a self-sufficient and vibrant urban center.

Yokkaichi City enjoys a favorable natural environment, not only rich in water resources but also blessed with convenient transportation, making it an important transportation hub in Japan. Nanshan Hills Park is an ideal spot for cherry blossom viewing, where about 1,200 cherry trees bloom every early March and are beloved by flower enthusiasts. Showa Happiness Village Park is a great place to admire seasonal flowers such as plum blossoms, cherry blossoms, and peach blossoms. With its tranquil lake, the park offers families the chance to enjoy a peaceful boat ride. Other must-visit attractions include Yokkaichi Central Green Space Park, Yokkaichi City Museum, Suwa Shrine, and Kainanji Inari Shrine.
