About Amarube Saki Lighthouse
Established in 1951, Amarube Saki lighthouse is located on a cape approximately 10 kilometers west of Kasumi, Japan. The current cylindrical white concrete tower, which includes a lantern and gallery and stands 14 meters tall, was built in 1985. It rises to a focal height of 284 meters, making it the highest lighthouse in Japan. The light emits a single white flash every 15 seconds and has a geographic range of 39.4 nautical miles. The lighthouse site is open to the public, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: As Japan's highest lighthouse, Amarube Saki's elevated focal plane provides an exceptionally far-reaching guide for maritime traffic navigating the complex coastal waters west of Kasumi.
