About Yurano Hana Lighthouse
Also known as: Yurano Hana (Yura Misaki)
Yurano Hana Lighthouse stands on the tip of a long peninsula projecting into the Bungo Strait, approximately 30 kilometers south of Uwajima. This operational lighthouse features a 9-meter tall, white cylindrical concrete tower. Its light emits a single white flash every 5 seconds from a focal height of 93 meters, providing a geographic range of 24.1 nautical miles. The site is open to visitors, though the tower itself is closed. The nearest port is Yutai, located 3.9 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse warns vessels away from the peninsula, guiding them through the challenging waters of the Bungo Strait, a significant passage between Kyushu and Shikoku.
