About Yoko Sone Lighthouse
This lighthouse, established in 1987, stands on an isolated rock situated 25 kilometers west-southwest of Mitoko Shima. The 24-meter tower has its upper half painted yellow and its lower half black, a distinct visual against the sea. Its light emits a white flash every 15 seconds. While the site is accessible by boat, the tower itself is closed to the public. The lighthouse is located in Saikai, within Japan's Nagasaki Prefecture, and operates from a remote position approximately 8.5 kilometers from the nearest port, Enohama.
Why it matters: The lighthouse marks a significant navigational hazard represented by the isolated rock it occupies, west-southwest of Mitoko Shima.
