This cylindrical concrete tower, standing 11 meters tall, is painted white and emits a white light with an occulting characteristic, showing a white flash every 6 seconds. Its focal height reaches 48 meters above sea level, providing a geographic range of 18.4 nautical miles. The lighthouse is situated on an island about 2.5 kilometers southeast of Sakito, serving the Saikai area of Nagasaki Prefecture. It was built to illuminate a nearby reef, a submerged hazard in the sea region.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's primary function is to light a nearby reef, thereby preventing groundings and ensuring safe passage for vessels navigating the waters southeast of Sakito.
