About Akunami Lighthouse
This concrete lighthouse stands 9 meters tall on a rock off the Tobacho ward in Nishio, Aichi Prefecture. Its cylindrical tower, featuring a gallery, is painted black with a single red horizontal band. The light emits a white flash every 5 seconds, visible for 10.4 nautical miles. The lighthouse is operational and located 2.4 kilometers from the nearest port, Higashihazu. While the site is open to visitors, the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for safe passage in the waters off the Tobacho ward, marking the rock it sits upon to prevent groundings. Its distinctive black and red banding provides a clear visual cue for mariners.
