About Ōita Northeast Breakwater Lighthouse
This red, cylindrical concrete lighthouse stands 8.5 meters tall at the end of a detached breakwater in Oita, Japan. The structure features a round concrete tower with a flared top, connected to a one-story concrete equipment room. Its light emits a single red flash every 6 seconds, visible for 11 nautical miles. The tower's focal height is 12 meters above the water. While the site is accessible, the tower itself is closed to the public. The lighthouse is located approximately 4.9 kilometers from the nearest port, Saganoseki.
Why it matters: This lighthouse clearly marks the extremity of the detached breakwater at the busy Ōita waterfront, providing a critical visual cue for vessels approaching the port.
