About Ōkuno Shima Lighthouse
Also known as: Ōkuno Shima (relocated)
Built in 1894, this cylindrical stone lighthouse originally stood on Ōkuno Shima in the Inland Sea of Hiroshima Prefecture. The white tower, standing 3.5 meters tall, was later relocated to Shikoku Mura, an architectural museum near Takamatsu. The lighthouse, now an exhibit, features a lantern and is painted white. Its focal height is 21 meters, and it once had a geographic range of 13.4 nautical miles. The light characteristic was an isophase white light on a 6-second cycle.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is significant as a preserved artifact of Japan's maritime history, relocated to Shikoku Mura to ensure its survival and educate visitors about early lighthouses in the Inland Sea.
