About Miya Saki Lighthouse
Also known as: Miya Saki (Hizen Miyazaki)
Established in 1975, Miya Saki lighthouse is located on a concrete pier just offshore, near a Shinto shrine at the eastern entrance to Matsuura Bay. This active light operates from a concrete post attached to a one-story equipment building, standing 8.5 meters tall with its light 11.5 meters above sea level. It emits an occulting white light, featuring one white flash every 8 seconds, with a geographic range of 10.9 nautical miles. The lighthouse is situated about 18 kilometers west of Karatsu, in the Saga Prefecture of Japan. Its functional design marks a modern approach to lighthouse construction in the region.
Why it matters: Miya Saki lighthouse is important for safe navigation into and out of Matsuura Bay, marking its eastern entrance cape. Its placement near a Shinto shrine also adds to the local cultural landscape.
