Yokkaichi is semi-rural and very industrial. A must see is Yokkaichi Festival which takes place during the middle of August. Be sure to see Onudo, a huge doll that does a hypnotic dance he's also the mascot of Yokkaichi. As well, many traditional dances, food, and a great party atmosphere. I think the people of Yokkaichi are what I miss the most when I'm away. They bend over backwards to help people, regardless of any language problems, or where you come from.
One memory, when I first arrived, was a taxi driver driving me around for a half hour for free because I had the wrong address. This medium city hospitality cannot be found in Japan's large city centers.
