About Shimose Sho Lighthouse
Shimose Sho lighthouse is a cylindrical, red concrete tower standing 10 meters tall, located about 800 meters off the coast of Himaka Shima. It features a double gallery and emits a single red flash every 8 seconds, visible for over 10 nautical miles. The structure rises from a reef that requires careful navigation by vessels. The site is open to visitors, but the tower itself is closed to the public. Its nearest port is Morozaki, approximately 0.8 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse marks a submerged reef, preventing groundings and ensuring safe passage for vessels approaching Himaka Shima harbor.
