About Ōdo Kō Lighthouse
Established in 1972, this lighthouse is a tapered, square skeletal tower constructed of steel and painted white. It stands 10 meters tall, with its light positioned 12 meters above sea level, offering a geographic range of 11 nautical miles. The structure is situated at the end of a long training wall at Ōdo harbor in Uto, Kumamoto Prefecture. Its light emits a single green flash every three seconds. While the site is accessible to the public, the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's green flashing light serves as a critical marker for vessels navigating the entrance to Ōdo harbor, guiding them past the harbor's extensive training wall.
