About Kamui Misaki Lighthouse
A cylindrical concrete tower, 11 meters tall, stands at Cape Kamui Misaki, Hokkaido Prefecture, Japan. It features black and white horizontal bands and a lantern with a gallery, rising from a one-story equipment building. The lighthouse, built in 1960, emits a white light with one flash every 15 seconds from a focal height of 81 meters. Its geographic range extends to 22.8 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself is closed. The nearest port is Furubira, located 13.3 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse guides vessels around Cape Kamui Misaki, a significant navigational hazard. Its light aids mariners in avoiding the rocky shoreline and strong currents, supporting both fishing fleets and commercial traffic. The distinctive black and white bands also serve as a daytime landmark.
