About Ma Saki Lighthouse
Also known as: Ma Saki (Rikuchū Ma Saki)
Ma Saki Lighthouse, built in 1959, stands as a concrete cylindrical tower, 9 meters in height, rising from a single-story equipment room. Its light is positioned 79 meters above sea level, casting a white flash every 10 seconds. The lighthouse is situated atop a steep promontory approximately 4 km northeast of Taro and 13 km north of Miyako. This location offers a geographic range of 22.5 nautical miles. The site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: Ma Saki Lighthouse serves as a critical navigational aid, warning vessels away from the promontory. It also acts as a key reference point for ships navigating the coastal waters between Taro and Miyako.
