About Shiina Kō Lighthouse
This lighthouse, built in 1966, guides vessels to the port of Shiina. The structure consists of a 10-meter round concrete post mounted on a 1-story concrete equipment shelter, painted red. It stands at the end of the north breakwater, approximately 13 kilometers north of Muroto Saki. The focal height of the light is 15 meters, and it emits an occulting red light on a 6-second cycle. The geographic range of the light is 11.9 nautical miles. While the site is open to the public, the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This light is essential for local fishing fleets and other small craft navigating the challenging coastal conditions to enter and depart Shiina port.
