It was situated 1.3 kilometers offshore from Katuyama and formerly marked the highest point of the island. The lighthouse was operational until 2010 and is now believed to have been demolished, as it is no longer visible in satellite imagery. Its nearest port is Maguchi, 7.1 kilometers away. The structure featured a gallery.
Why it matters: This lighthouse served as a navigational aid for vessels entering and exiting the busy Tōkyō Bay.
