Uki City, in central Kumamoto Prefecture, faces the Yatsushiro Sea south of the Uto Peninsula. Misumi West Port, built in the Meiji era, keeps its stone-built port and is part of the World Cultural Heritage Site "Sites of Japan's Meiji Industrial Revolution." The sea is known for shiranui, mysterious lights offshore. Its winter-spring tomato harvest ranks 5th in Japan.
