About Funatsu Kō Lighthouse
Also known as: Funatsu Kō (Miyana Kawachi)
This red, cylindrical concrete lighthouse was built in 1980 and first lit in the same year. Standing 9.5 meters tall with a focal height of 11 meters, it is situated at the end of the north breakwater of Funatsu harbor. The structure features a round concrete tower with a gallery. Its white light flashes once every 3 seconds, providing a geographic range of 10.7 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for guiding local fishing and commercial vessels into Funatsu harbor, marking the breakwater and ensuring safe passage, particularly during night-time operations.
