About Ōhira Se Lighthouse
Ōhira Se Lighthouse, built in 1976, stands as a 13-meter white concrete post atop a 1-story equipment room. This lighthouse is situated on a high promontory about 8 kilometers northwest of Abu, within Yamaguchi Prefecture. Its light, visible for nearly 29 nautical miles, emits an occulting white signal with a 6-second cycle. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed. Access to the lighthouse involves navigating a service road through a natural landscape.
Why it matters: The lighthouse provides an important navigational aid for vessels operating in the coastal waters northwest of Abu, guiding them from its elevated position.
