About Biya Kō Lighthouse
This 9.5-meter red cylindrical post, constructed of concrete, is attached to a single-story equipment shelter. It stands at the end of the south breakwater for Biya, a port located about 12 kilometers south of Cape Motta in Hokkaido Prefecture. The lighthouse emits a red flash every 6 seconds, offering a geographic range of 10.4 nautical miles. Its focal height reaches 10 meters above the water. Visitors can access the site, though the tower itself is closed to the public.
Why it matters: Biya Kō is essential for vessels entering and exiting the small port of Biya, clearly marking the end of the south breakwater and preventing collisions with the harbor infrastructure.
