About Taso Saki Lighthouse
Completed in 1951, the Taso Saki Lighthouse is a slender, cylindrical concrete tower standing 12 meters tall. It is situated on a high promontory that forms a natural boundary between Ago Bay and Gokasho Bay in Mie Prefecture. The light, emitted from a focal height of 97 meters, casts a white flash every 6 seconds and has a geographic range of 24.6 nautical miles. The structure rises from a single-story concrete equipment room. The lighthouse site is open to the public, providing expansive views, although the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is important for vessels navigating the waters separating Ago Bay and Gokasho Bay.
