About Ushi Shima Lighthouse
The Ushi Shima lighthouse stands on an 11-meter concrete post, which rises from a square, single-story equipment room. The entire structure is painted white and is situated on a steep-sided rock about 5 kilometers northeast of the Kuji waterfront. This rock is connected to the mainland by a walkway that is often submerged at high tide. The lighthouse emits an occulting white light, with a 6-second cycle, visible for 21.5 nautical miles. Its focal height reaches 71 meters above sea level.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is important for mariners navigating off Kuji, marking a promontory and its hazards. Its location on a rock accessible by a tidal walkway makes it a distinctive landmark.
