About Inuyama Lighthouse
Also known as: Inuyama (Noto Ogi Kō)
Completed in 1950, the Inuyama Lighthouse is a cylindrical concrete tower painted white, standing 14 meters tall. It rises from a rectangular one-story equipment building and features a lantern and gallery. The lighthouse's focal height reaches 32 meters, providing a geographic range of 15.7 nautical miles. It emits a single white flash every 18 seconds. Unlike many coastal lights, this structure is situated in the center of the town of Noto within Ishikawa Prefecture.
Why it matters: Its placement directly within an urban center, a rarity for Japanese lights, makes it a local landmark. The lighthouse likely aids local navigation within the immediate harbor area.
