About Borose Saki Lighthouse
The Borose Saki lighthouse, built in 1966, is a square pyramidal concrete tower standing 11 meters tall. It is attached to a single-story concrete equipment room. The lighthouse emits a single white flash every 10 seconds from a focal height of 110 meters, with a geographic range of 25.9 nautical miles. It is situated on a promontory approximately 8 km north of Naze, Amami Ōshima's main port. In 2020, a square skeletal radar tower was constructed adjacent to the lighthouse.
Why it matters: This lighthouse serves as the primary landfall light for Naze, the principal town on Amami Ōshima, guiding vessels approaching the island's most significant port.
