About Shiriya Saki Lighthouse
Also known as: Siriya
Constructed in 1876, this white, cylindrical brick tower stands 33 meters tall. It features a lantern and gallery, and is attached to a two-story keeper's house. The lighthouse emits a white flash every 10 seconds from a focal height of 46 meters, with a geographic range of 18.1 nautical miles. Located at the northeastern tip of Honshu island, it marks the Shiriya Saki cape. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse guides shipping around Shiriya Cape, a key point for vessels between the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Japan. Its operational history since 1876 highlights its long-standing role in maritime safety along Japan's northern coast.
