About Aino Shima Lighthouse
Also known as: Aino Shima (Tikusen Aino Shima)
Aino Shima Lighthouse stands on the island's highest point, west of Aino Shima, which is a high island located 6 km north of Fukuoka. This concrete post structure, measuring 10.5 meters tall, was built and first lit in 1986. It features a lantern atop the post, with the entire structure painted white, including the accompanying one-story equipment room. The light emits an isophase white signal on an 8-second cycle, visible for 23.4 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: This light aids vessels navigating the waters around Aino Shima and approaching or departing the nearby port of Hakata/Fukuoka.
