Issō Kō Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Issō Kō Lighthouse
This lighthouse stands at the termination of Issō's north breakwater in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan. The structure is a 10-meter-tall red concrete post featuring a square, single-story concrete equipment room at its base. It emits a red light with a single flash every six seconds. This functional aid is situated on Yakushima, the northernmost island of the Osumi Islands. While the site is accessible to visitors, the tower itself is closed to the public.
Why it matters: The lighthouse guides vessels into the harbor of Issō, marking the end of the main breakwater.
