About Ōma Saki Lighthouse
Ōma Saki Lighthouse, established in 1921, is a 25-meter cylindrical concrete tower situated on a small island off the cape near Ōma. It features black and white horizontal bands and rises from a two-story keeper's house. The light emits a single white flash every 30 seconds, visible for 16.4 nautical miles. This lighthouse marks the northernmost point of Honshū and the narrowest section of the Tsugaru Strait. Its nearest port, Ōma, is 1.7 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is indispensable for safe passage through the Tsugaru Strait, a critical shipping lane. It warns mariners about the narrowest section of the strait, guiding vessels navigating between Honshū and Hokkaidō.
