About Hyaken Lighthouse
Also known as: Hyaken (Hyakken)
This concrete lighthouse, standing 10 meters tall, features a green cylindrical tower with a gallery mounted on a round concrete pier. Its light emits a green flash every 8 seconds, visible for 11.3 nautical miles. Situated about 400 meters northwest of the Shiraishi light, it guides vessels through a challenging and narrow passage in Japan's Inland Sea. The tower's focal plane is 13 meters above sea level. It is located near Kasaoka in the Okayama Prefecture.
Why it matters: The Hyaken light is indispensable for maritime safety in a specific, challenging section of the Inland Sea, where its guidance prevents groundings and collisions in a narrow passage.
