About Zanpa Saki Lighthouse
Also known as: Zanpa Saki (Zampa Saki)
The Zanpa Saki Lighthouse, built in 1974, stands as a white, cylindrical concrete tower on the west coast of Okinawa. Rising 30.5 meters, its light is positioned 40 meters above sea level. The structure features a lantern and gallery atop a single-story equipment building. It emits a white light with a single flash every 10 seconds, visible for 17.1 nautical miles. Located on a promontory about 30 km north of Naha, the lighthouse offers access to its site for visitors, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: Marking a sharp promontory on Okinawa's west coast, the Zanpa Saki Lighthouse is the most recognized lighthouse in the region and a significant draw for tourists.
