About Kurinokami Sho Lighthouse
This conical concrete lighthouse stands 17 meters tall on an isolated rock about 20 kilometers west of Fukuma. Its exterior is painted black with a single red horizontal band. The light emits white flashes every 5 seconds. Access to the site is permitted, though the tower itself remains closed to visitors. The nearest port is Ohshima, Fukuoka, located 10.3 kilometers away.
Why it matters: The lighthouse warns vessels of the hazardous rock it marks in the open sea west of Fukuma. Its unique appearance helps mariners identify their position.
