About Kaijikake Iwa Lighthouse
Also known as: Kazekaki
This green, cylindrical concrete tower stands 11 meters tall and has a focal height of 13 meters.

The lighthouse emits a single green flash every eight seconds, visible for 11.3 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed. It is located in Kaminoseki, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan, near the port of Murotsu.
Why it matters: This lighthouse marks a specific rock hazard, which is critical for vessels navigating the local Japanese waters and helps prevent groundings.
