About Bakkai Kō West Breakwater Lighthouse
This white, cylindrical concrete tower stands 11 meters tall with a focal height of 15 meters. It is located at the end of the west breakwater in Bakkai harbor, marking the harbor's entrance approximately 16 km south of Wakkanai. The lighthouse emits a single green flash every 3 seconds, visible for nearly 12 nautical miles. The structure was relocated following an extension of the breakwater. It guides vessels into the harbor.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for mariners approaching Bakkai harbor, serving as a clear navigational marker at the breakwater's extremity. Its relocation demonstrates its role in adapting to harbor infrastructure changes and ensuring safe entry.
