About Iyu Mizukoshi Shima Lighthouse
A white, cylindrical concrete tower, 8.5 meters in height, is situated on a small islet in Hokezu Bay. The light source is positioned 16 meters above sea level. This structure emits a white light with a characteristic of a single flash every 5 seconds, visible up to 12.2 nautical miles. It is a rectangular, white concrete tower located in Ehime Prefecture, Japan, identifying a point between Uwajima and Seiyo. The islet can be visited, but the tower interior is not open.
