Location & Light Range
About Hino Shima Kō Lighthouse
Built in 1981, this lighthouse marks the end of Hino Shima's main northern breakwater on the island's west side. The structure consists of a white, 8.5-meter concrete post atop a 1-story concrete equipment shelter. Its focal height is 12 meters above sea level. The light emits a single green flash every 6 seconds, visible for 11 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for guiding vessels, particularly local fishing fleets and small commercial traffic, into the protected harbor by clearly marking the breakwater's terminus.
