About Himedo Kō Lighthouse
Himedo Kō lighthouse was established in 1977 and stands at the southern end of the Himedo harbor breakwater, near Uryū Saki. The structure is an 8.5-meter white concrete post rising from a 1-story concrete equipment shelter. It emits an isophase green light every 6 seconds, visible for 10.7 nautical miles. This light marks the entrance to Himedo harbor. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for local fishing fleets and coastal vessels navigating into Himedo harbor, guiding them safely past the breakwater.
