About Omaesaki Lighthouse
This white, round masonry tower stands 22.47 meters tall on the Honshu South Coast. First lit in 1874, its focal plane reaches 54 meters above sea level. The lighthouse emits a white light that flashes once every 10 seconds. Its geographic range extends for 19 nautical miles, providing a clear signal to mariners navigating this section of coastline. The structure itself is a round, masonry building.
Why it matters: A lighthouse was first established at Cape Omae in 1635 due to frequent marine accidents on the coastal rocks.
Background

A lighthouse was built at Cape Omae as early as 1635, when the Tokugawa Shogunate recognized the frequency of marine accidents on the rocks off the coast of Tōtōmi Province.Light & Optic
