About Hisanohama Kō South Breakwater Lighthouse
This lighthouse, built in 1974, stands on the south breakwater of Hisanohama port in Iwaki city, Fukushima Prefecture. The structure is an 11-meter-high white concrete cylindrical post with a square, single-story equipment shelter at its base. It emits a green light with a single flash every five seconds, visible for nearly 12 nautical miles. The site is open to visitors who can access the area around the lighthouse, though the tower itself is closed. It is located 0.3 kilometers from the nearest port of Hisanohama.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for vessels navigating into and out of Hisanohama harbor, clearly marking the southern edge of the breakwater. Its unique concrete post design serves as a visual reference for mariners.
