About Ayajin Lighthouse
Also known as: Ayajin (Ayajin-ni)
This cylindrical concrete tower, standing 15 meters tall, was built in 1958 near Ayajin. It features a lantern and gallery and is painted white. The lighthouse sits on a hillside overlooking the north breakwater, with its light visible for 13.8 nautical miles. The focal height of the light is 23 meters, and it emits a white flash every 6 seconds. The site is open to visitors, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse marks the entrance to the port of Ayajin, aiding vessels navigating past the breakwater and providing a key visual reference point on the hillside.
