About Kanesiro Iwa Lighthouse
Also known as: Kanesiro Iwa (Tsutsu Saki)
Constructed in 1909, Kanesiro Iwa Lighthouse stands as a cylindrical stone tower, 22 meters in height. It emits a single green flash every three seconds, visible for 11.6 nautical miles. The structure features a small lantern and gallery atop its round stone base. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed to visitors. It is located 1.7 kilometers from the nearest port, Tsutsu, within the Nagasaki Prefecture.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's unique green flash characteristic helps mariners distinguish it from other navigational aids along the coast. Its continuous operation since 1909 highlights its sustained importance for local shipping traffic.
