About Nishiura Oki Lighthouse
Also known as: Nisiura
Established in 1966, this lighthouse features a 9-meter octagonal stone tower housing a lantern and gallery. The tower is directly attached to a single-story stone keeper's cottage, reflecting a design for close operational integration. Its white light emits one flash every five seconds, providing a geographic range of 10.4 nautical miles. The lighthouse is situated near Imabari in Ehime Prefecture, Japan, with its nearest port being Namikata, 1.7 kilometers away. While visitors can access the site, the tower itself remains closed to the public.
Why it matters: The lighthouse continues to guide local fishing fleets and coastal shipping. Its integrated keeper's cottage offers a rare insight into historical lighthouse operations.
