About Akune Kō Lighthouse
Constructed in 1962, this lighthouse consists of a white, cylindrical concrete tower measuring 10 meters in height, affixed to a one-story concrete utility structure. It is located on a promontory near the southern access to Akune harbor in Japan's Kagoshima Prefecture. The light, situated 43 meters above sea level, flashes white once every 10 seconds and has a known distance of 17.6 nautical miles. The site is open to visitors, though the tower itself remains inaccessible. The lighthouse is listed under NGA number 11164 and Admiralty number M5095.
Why it matters: This structure serves as a navigation aid, marking the landmass at the southern entry point to Akune harbor, assisting ships entering and leaving the port.
