About No Shima Lighthouse
Also known as: No Shima (Nojima, No Sima, Suō Noshima)
Located on a summit near the southern tip of an inhabited island in Suō Bay, No Shima Lighthouse was first lit in 1978. This square white concrete tower, standing 19 meters tall, has a focal height of 87 meters. Its light emits a single white flash every 6 seconds, visible for 23.4 nautical miles. The lighthouse illuminates the Omo Se reef, a submerged hazard. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: No Shima Lighthouse is essential for the safety of local shipping and ferry services within Suō Bay, particularly those connecting to the island. It specifically guides vessels around the Omo Se reef.
