About Sakihama Range Rear Lighthouse
Established in 1956, the Sakihama Range Rear light is a white, cylindrical concrete tower standing 7 meters tall. It features a gallery and is centered on a 1-story equipment room. The focal height of the light is 26 meters, and it emits an occulting white light that is obscured for 8 seconds. The original lantern was replaced with a smaller, modern unit, now mounted off-center on the gallery. The lighthouse is situated on a hillside in Sakihama, Muroto, within the Kochi Prefecture. Its geographic range is 14.5 nautical miles.
Why it matters: This rear range light works with its front counterpart to provide precise navigational guidance for vessels approaching or departing Sakihama, directly contributing to local maritime safety and efficient shipping.
