About Shinoshima Lighthouse
Also known as: Shinoshima (Shinojima, Sinosima) Kō (North Breakwater)
Shinoshima Lighthouse is a cylindrical concrete tower standing 9 meters tall, with the light positioned 12 meters above sea level. Its structure includes a flared top and is attached to a small equipment shelter. The lighthouse emits a red flash every three seconds, visible for 11 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed. It is situated near the port of Shinojima, just 0.1 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for local navigation, guiding fishing boats and small vessels through the coastal waters around Shinoshima Island. Its light helps mariners identify safe channels and avoid hazards in an area with numerous small islands and varied depths.
