The inland areas of Itoshima Peninsula are defined by rice paddy agriculture — the combination of volcanic soil from Mt. Raizan, abundant spring water, and 250 days of direct sunlight produces rice (primarily the Hinohikari variety) considered among the finest in Kyushu. The last decade has seen a return-to-farming movement that has brought young farmers from across Japan to establish organic operations, supplemented by dairy farms, oyster cultivation, and specialty vegetable growing.
