About Sakitsu Ura Lighthouse
Also known as: Sakitsu Ura (Sakitsu Kō)
This 9.5-meter white concrete cylindrical tower was built in 1970 on the north side of Sakitsu Sound. It stands on a 1-story concrete equipment room and emits an isophase white light every 6 seconds from a focal height of 24 meters. The lighthouse is located on the west side of Shimo Shima, marking the entrance to a fjord-like bay near Amakusa. Its geographic range covers 14.1 nautical miles, guiding vessels through this intricate coastal passage. The nearest port, Sakitsu, is situated just 0.1 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is important for local fishing vessels and other small craft navigating the fjord-like Sakitsu Sound, providing a reliable aid to avoid potential hazards within the bay.
