About Zyōga Lighthouse
Also known as: Zyōga (Jyoga, Jouga, Jōga) Shima
The Zyōga Lighthouse, a cylindrical concrete tower painted white, was completed in 1926. Standing 12 meters tall, its light is positioned 30 meters above sea level. It emits a single white flash every 15 seconds, visible for 15.3 nautical miles. The lighthouse complex includes a lantern and gallery atop the tower, connected to a single-story keeper's house. The site is open to visitors, though the tower itself is closed to the public. Its nearest port is Misaki, Kanagawa, just 0.3 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse provides essential navigational aid for local shipping and fishing fleets operating along the Japanese coast, ensuring safe passage. Its continuous operation since 1926 underscores its enduring reliability and the critical role it plays in maritime safety.
