About Shibitachi Nakane Lighthouse
Shibitachi Nakane Lighthouse stands on a rock at the upper end of the eastern arm of Kesennuma Wan. Constructed of concrete, its design features a square, one-story equipment building with a concrete post extending upwards. The tower, painted red, reaches a focal height of 11 meters. It emits a single red flash every 8 seconds, visible for nearly 11 nautical miles. The site is accessible by boat, though the tower itself is closed to visitors. Its nearest port is Sakihama, located 2 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for safe navigation within the eastern arm of Kesennuma Wan, guiding local fishing fleets and other maritime traffic through the bay's upper reaches. Its red light warns vessels of the submerged rock it occupies, preventing groundings in this busy coastal area. The lighthouse's distinctive structure provides a recognizable daymark for mariners.
