Location & Light Range
About Hisanohama Kō East Breakwater Lighthouse
A cylindrical concrete tower, 7 meters in height, stands on the south end of Hisanohama's detached outer breakwater in Iwaki, Fukushima Prefecture. The structure, painted red, features a focal height of 12 meters and emits a red light. Mariners observe a single red flash every six seconds, a characteristic that offers an 11 nautical mile range. The site is accessible by boat, though the tower itself remains closed to the public. The lighthouse serves the nearby port of Hisanohama.
Why it matters: This lighthouse clearly marks the eastern edge of the Hisanohama port's protective breakwater, aiding vessels in safe navigation into and out of the harbor.
