About Akita City Lighthouses Lighthouse
A bright red, cylindrical concrete tower, standing 16 meters tall, was built in 1986. The structure includes a lantern and gallery, with the light positioned 19 meters above sea level. It emits a single red flash every 5 seconds, visible for 12.9 nautical miles. This lighthouse is located on the outer breakwater of Akita, a prefectural capital. The breakwater has since been extended, leading to the addition of a newer light further out to sea.
Why it matters: This lighthouse marks the outer breakwater, guiding vessels into Akita Port, an important economic center.
