About Taka Shima Lighthouse
Taka Shima Lighthouse is a white, cylindrical concrete tower standing 11 meters tall, situated on the southern end of a small island northeast of Yobuko harbor. Its light, at a focal height of 55 meters, emits three white flashes every 13 seconds, visible for nearly 20 nautical miles. The structure consists of a concrete post attached to a single-story concrete equipment building. This operational light serves vessels approaching the nearest port of Yobuko, located just 0.7 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is critical for ships entering and exiting the harbor of Yobuko, warning them of the island's presence and defining a safe channel into the port.
