About Ikei Shima Lighthouse
Also known as: Ike
Constructed in 1977, this cylindrical concrete lighthouse stands 14 meters tall on Ikei Island. Its round, hourglass-shaped tower, topped with a lantern and gallery, is a graceful example of modern design. The lighthouse emits a single green flash and has a geographic range of 11.6 nautical miles. It became operational in 1977 and continues to serve maritime traffic. The site is open to visitors, but the tower itself is closed to the public.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is important for safe navigation around Ikei Island, particularly for local fishing fleets and leisure craft in the East China Sea. Its distinctive tower design makes it a notable architectural feature of the island.
