Gobo's economic base is a diverse mix of industry, fishing, tourism and agriculture. We are famous for our greenhouse cultivation of vegetables, our Dutch peas as well as our many fruit producing orchards. We produce sake and soy sauce as well as pickles, and our fleets supply the country with fish and various fish related products. Among our industries, one of the most important is our mahjong tile producing factory. Moreover, with our wide array of sightseeing spots and tourist attractions, our economy derives much from visitors to the city.
As a well-educated community with a deep cultural heritage and a keen eye on the future, Gobo is continuing to thrive and grow.
