About Noto Shima Lighthouse
Also known as: Noto Shima (Nanao Bay Entrance)
Noto Shima Lighthouse is a 14-meter tall, cylindrical concrete tower. Its light is 18 meters above sea level. Located on the south side of Noto Shima, roughly 4 kilometers west of Noto Kannon Saki, it marks the entry to the narrow channel for Nanao Bay. The construction is a round concrete tower with two galleries, set on a large square concrete foundation. The light, previously Fl W 3s, was changed in 2019.
Why it matters: This lighthouse served as a navigation aid for vessels navigating the narrow strait between Noto Kannon Saki and Noto Shima, the main entry to Nanao Bay. Its directional light provided real-time direction for ships entering or leaving the bay.
