About Tō Saki Lighthouse
Also known as: Tō Saki (Myo Se Saki, Nita Wan)
Completed in 1976, Tō Saki lighthouse stands 20 meters tall on a sharp promontory at the entrance to Kishikata Bay. Its cylindrical, hourglass-shaped concrete tower is painted white. The light, situated 11 meters above sea level, emits a continuous white beam visible for 12 nautical miles. This light is essential for guiding vessels into the bay and specifically for marking the Myo Se reef, which lies 650 meters to the north. The nearest port is Shishimi, located 0.4 kilometers away.
Why it matters: Tō Saki lighthouse is important for safe navigation into Kishikata Bay, warning mariners about the Myo Se reef. Its distinctive hourglass-shaped tower is also a notable architectural feature on the coastline.
