About Jūsan Kō South Jetty Lighthouse
This red concrete post lighthouse stands 7 meters tall, with its focal height at 10 meters. It is attached to a square, single-story equipment shelter, with the entire structure painted red. The lighthouse is situated on a short jetty at the south side of the Mitoguchi inlet. This inlet connects Lake Jūsan, where the Iwaki River flows, to the sea. Its light emits a red flash every 3 seconds, visible for 10.4 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, though the tower is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse guides vessels through the Mitoguchi inlet, the only passage connecting Lake Jūsan to the sea, helping them navigate the river's outflow and coastal waters.
