About Iwasaki Kō Lighthouse
Also known as: Iwasaki Kō (Sawabe Breakwater)
This lighthouse is an 8.5-meter white concrete post situated at the end of the Sawabe harbor breakwater pier. It is attached to a square, single-story concrete equipment shelter. The light emits a single green flash every three seconds and has a geographic range of 11.9 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed. It is located in Fukaura, within Aomori Prefecture.
Why it matters: This light is indispensable for the safe navigation of Sawabe harbor, specifically guiding local fishing vessels and small commercial traffic past the breakwater pier. Its continuous green light provides a clear signal, preventing groundings and collisions at the harbor entrance.
