Also known as: Saigō Misaki (Shiro Saki)
This white, cylindrical concrete lighthouse was built in 1921 and first lit the same year. It stands 11 meters tall, with its light positioned 109 meters above sea level. The structure comprises a square concrete tower with a lantern and gallery, centered on a one-story concrete keeper's house. Its light emits a single white flash every 30 seconds, visible for approximately 26 nautical miles. Located at the southeastern tip of Dōgo, the largest of the Oki Islands, it is near the port of Okinokojima.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is important for marking the southeastern point of Dōgo Island. It was the only lighthouse in the Oki Islands archipelago until after 1950, making it historically significant for regional maritime safety.
