About Chiburi Shima Lighthouse
Also known as: Tihuri
This cylindrical concrete lighthouse was built in 1953 on Chiburi (Tihuri) Shima. The 12-meter tower rises from a 1-story equipment building and features a lantern and gallery. Its light has a focal height of 158 meters, providing a geographic range of over 30 nautical miles. The lighthouse is situated on an island near the city of Chibu in Japan's Shimane Prefecture. While visitors can access the site, the tower itself remains closed to the public.
Why it matters: The lighthouse ensures safe passage around the island for both local fishing vessels and commercial traffic. Its high focal plane makes the light visible from a significant distance, aiding navigation in these waters.
