About Deba (Ewa, Teba) Shima Lighthouse
The Deba Shima lighthouse, also known as Ewa or Teba Shima, was built in 1959 and stands 11 meters tall. Its structure is an octagonal, hourglass-shaped concrete tower with a gallery, formerly connected to a single-story concrete equipment building. The light is positioned at a focal height of 87 meters and emits a white flash every 10 seconds, visible for 23.4 nautical miles. This active aid to navigation is located near the village of Mugi in Tokushima Prefecture. The lighthouse site is open to visitors, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for local navigation, guiding fishing boats and other coastal traffic around the island. Its unique octagonal hourglass design also makes it a distinctive architectural feature.
