About Mitawa Iwa Lighthouse
Mitawa Iwa is a 10-meter-tall cylindrical stone and concrete tower located in Takuma Bay, marking the entrance to Takuma port. Its red light flashes once every eight seconds and is visible for 10.4 nautical miles. The lighthouse stands on a stone pier and its site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed. This structure serves as a navigational aid at the port entrance, which is approximately 0.6 kilometers away. The lighthouse is operational and guides vessels into the port.
Why it matters: Mitawa Iwa is essential for the safe navigation of vessels entering Takuma port, delineating the channel and preventing potential groundings and collisions.
