Fukushima Kō West Breakwater Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Fukushima Kō West Breakwater Lighthouse
A 10-meter red concrete post, cylindrical in shape, rises from a square, single-story concrete equipment room. This structure marks the extremity of a detached breakwater serving Fukushima harbor. Its focal height reaches 15 meters, emitting a red light that flashes once every 6 seconds. The lighthouse is situated at the confluence of open sea and the sheltered port, a location requiring careful navigation. The site is open to visitors, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for mariners approaching Fukushima harbor, specifically marking the end of the west breakwater. Its red flashes provide a clear warning, preventing vessels from colliding with the structure, thereby ensuring safe entry and exit from the port.
