About Futtsu City Lighthouses Lighthouse
This red concrete lighthouse stands 8 meters tall on the breakwater at Hamakanaya, a ferry terminal in Futtsu City. The structure includes a square, single-story equipment shelter. Its focal plane is 9 meters above the water. The light emits a continuous red glow, punctuated by a single bright red flash every five seconds. This light has a geographic range of 10 nautical miles. The lighthouse site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for the safe navigation of ferries crossing Sagami Bay between Hamakanaya and Yokosuka, precisely marking the breakwater for vessels entering and leaving the terminal.
