About Chinu Saki Lighthouse
Chinu Saki Lighthouse stands on the southern side of the entrance to Tsukumi Bay, marking the end of a breakwater off the Chinu Saki promontory. Constructed from concrete, the tower is cylindrical and flares at its top, reaching a height of 8.5 meters with a focal height of 11 meters. It emits a green light that flashes with an occulting characteristic every 4 seconds, visible for 10.7 nautical miles. The site is open to visitors, but the tower itself is closed. Its nearest port is Tsukumi, located 0.8 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for safe navigation into Tsukumi Bay, guiding local fishing vessels and commercial traffic past the breakwater and the Chinu Saki promontory.
