About Ogan Misaki Lighthouse
Also known as: Ogan Misaki (Ugan Saki)
Constructed in 1972, Ogan Misaki Lighthouse is a white, cylindrical concrete tower standing 9.5 meters tall. The structure is mounted on a square concrete pier and attached to a single-story equipment shelter. Its light emits a white flash every 10 seconds, visible for 10.2 nautical miles. The lighthouse is situated on the northeastern tip of a coral reef off the east coast of Kume Shima in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. It is located 21 kilometers from the nearest port of Aguni.
Why it matters: This lighthouse warns vessels of the extensive coral reef system off Kume Shima's east coast, preventing groundings on submerged hazards. It ensures safe passage for local fishing boats and other maritime traffic navigating these complex waters.
