About Hikari Kō South Breakwater Lighthouse
This lighthouse marks the entrance to Hikari harbor at the end of its south breakwater. Constructed from white concrete, the 9.5-meter post features a lantern atop a 1-story equipment shelter. Its focal height is 12 meters, and it emits a green light with a 3-second flash followed by a 3-second dark period, completing a cycle every 6 seconds. The geographic range of the light is 11 nautical miles. This navigational aid is situated 1.1 kilometers from the nearest port of Hikari.
Why it matters: The occulting green light specifically delineates the harbor entrance, preventing groundings and guiding vessels through the narrowest part of the channel to ensure the safe operation of the port.
