About Kashiwa Shima Lighthouse
Also known as: Kashiwa Shima (Komiya Saki)
A cylindrical concrete tower, 12 meters in height, is centered on a round, 1-story concrete foundation. Adjacent to the tower is a 1-story concrete building housing equipment. The light source is positioned 13 meters above sea level, producing a white occulting flash with a 4-second period. This light has a visibility range of 11.3 nautical miles. The structure is located at the extremity of a narrow landform that serves as a breakwater for the port of Kashikojima, positioned 0.2 kilometers away. The grounds are accessible, but entry into the tower is not permitted.
Why it matters: This navigation aid marks the harbor entrance for Kashikojima, assisting local fishing vessels and other craft.
