About Tyōdayū Syo Lighthouse
Also known as: Chōdayū
Established in 1894, the Tyōdayū (Chōdayū) Syo Lighthouse is an active aid to navigation in Japan's Hiroshima Prefecture. The structure features a cylindrical, 11-meter-tall tower constructed of stone and concrete, rising from a pier made of similar materials. Its design is a strongly conical stone tower attached to a small equipment room. This lighthouse is situated on a stone and concrete pier, approximately 1.3 kilometers from the nearest port, Shigei. Its long operational history demonstrates a consistent function in guiding vessels.
Why it matters: This lighthouse represents late 19th-century maritime engineering, offering continuous service since its construction and serving as a link to historical navigation practices.
