...Agriculture is thriving on Fukue Island, Ojika Island, and Uku Island, with the raising of beef cattle and pigs known as Goto beef, and the cultivation of leaf tobacco and greenhouse vegetables to replace the staple crop of sweet potatoes. The Shimogoto route starts from Nagasaki Port and circulates between the ports of Fukue, Naru, and Narao, and the Kamigoto route runs from Sasebo Port to the ports of Arikawa, Enozu (Nakadori Island), Ojika, and Taira (Uku Island).
