About Yura Town Lighthouse Lighthouse
This cylindrical concrete tower stands 14 meters tall, with its focal plane at 15 meters. Its distinctive marking features the upper half painted yellow and the lower half painted black. The light emits a white flash every 15 seconds. Situated on a rocky reef about 5 kilometers southeast of Hirogawa, the lighthouse is accessible only by boat. While the site is open for visitors, the tower itself remains closed to the public.
Why it matters: The lighthouse warns vessels of the rocky reef on which it is located, aiding navigation southeast of Hirogawa.
