About Ushimado Lighthouse
This square lighthouse, constructed from stone and wood, stands 12 meters high. Its design features a traditional wooden tower with a pyramidal roof, which is mounted on a square stone pedestal. The lighthouse is situated at the waterfront, marking the entrance to Ushimado harbor in Setouchi, Okayama Prefecture. Although no longer operational, the site is open to the public, providing views of the harbor. The tower itself is closed to entry.
