About Ajigasawa Town Lighthouses Lighthouse
This red, cylindrical concrete lighthouse was built in 1938 and first lit in the same year. Standing 11 meters tall, its focal height reaches 13 meters above sea level. The lighthouse emits an isophase red light, with a 3-second on and 3-second off cycle, visible for 11.3 nautical miles. It is situated on the outer breakwater of Ajigasawa Port, marking the entrance. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for the safe navigation of vessels entering and exiting Ajigasawa Port, specifically marking the western breakwater and preventing collisions with harbor infrastructure.
