The Satsuma lighthouse, a cylindrical concrete tower, was built in 1957. Standing 11 meters tall with a focal height of 21 meters, it emits a light visible for 13.4 nautical miles. The structure comprises a round concrete tower affixed to a single-story square concrete equipment room. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed. Its nearest port is Yamagawa, 4.2 kilometers away.
