About Minabe Town Lighthouse Lighthouse
Minabe Town Lighthouse, also known as Metsu Saki, is an active lighthouse completed in 1998. The structure consists of a round cylindrical concrete tower rising from a large square stone pier. Its upper half is painted yellow, and the lower half is black, standing 8 meters tall with a focal height of 8 meters. It emits a white light with one flash every 15 seconds, visible for 9.7 nautical miles. Located at the end of a reef extending from a promontory in Minabe, Wakayama Prefecture, Japan, its site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed. The nearest port is Tanabe, 4.3 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse warns vessels of the reef extending from the Metsu Saki promontory.
