About Aware Saki Lighthouse
Also known as: Aharen
Aware (Aharen) Saki lighthouse was established in 1972 on a Japanese cape. This cylindrical concrete tower stands 9.5 meters tall and emits a white flash every 8 seconds from a focal height of 97 meters, visible up to 24.6 nautical miles. The structure is attached to a small, single-story equipment shelter. While the site is open to visitors, the tower itself is closed. The nearest port is Tokashiki, located 4 kilometers away. This lighthouse serves as an active aid to navigation.
Why it matters: The lighthouse marks the Aware (Aharen) Saki cape, offering a clear navigational reference for vessels in Japan's coastal waters. Its light assists in preventing groundings and guides maritime traffic safely past the headland.
