About Kamino Shima West Coast Lighthouses Lighthouse
The Kamino Shima West Coast Lighthouse is a white, cylindrical concrete tower built in 1965. Standing 10 meters tall with a focal height of 12 meters, it emits a single white flash every 3 seconds, visible for 11 nautical miles. The structure is attached to a small, single-story equipment room. Access to the site is exclusively by boat due to its location at the tip of a promontory marking the entrance to a fjord. While the grounds are open to visitors, the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is critical for vessels seeking safe entry into the fjord north of Asō Bay, navigating the sharp promontory that defines its entrance.
