About Inoura Kō Lighthouse
This lighthouse is a 10-meter white concrete post, attached to a square, single-story concrete equipment room. Built in 1970, it marks the north end of a long detached breakwater for Inoura harbor. The light emits a green flash every 8 seconds. Its geographic range is 11.3 nautical miles. The site is open to visitors, but the tower is closed. The nearest port is Shinmonji, 1.6 kilometers away.
Why it matters: Inoura Kō is essential for guiding vessels into Inoura harbor by marking the northern end of the detached breakwater, preventing collisions with the submerged structure.
