About Rikuzen Kuro Saki Lighthouse
The Rikuzen Kuro Saki Lighthouse stands on the south-pointing promontory at the end of the Rikuzen Coast, approximately 40 kilometers southeast of Ishinomaki. The current round, cylindrical concrete tower, which is 12 meters tall, was constructed in 1991. It replaced an earlier skeletal tower. The lighthouse emits an occulting white light every 6 seconds, visible for 20.8 nautical miles. Its focal height is 65 meters above sea level. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse warns mariners of the Kuro Saki promontory, guiding vessels safely past this significant coastal feature on Japan's northeastern coastline.
