About Kanazawa Lighthouses Lighthouse
This lighthouse, built in 1999, stands on the detached outer breakwater of Shioya harbor. It is located at the border between Ishikawa and Fukui prefectures. The structure consists of an 8.5-meter white concrete post attached to a square, single-story equipment shelter. Its focal height reaches 12 meters above sea level. The light emits a green flash every five seconds, visible for 11 nautical miles. While the site is accessible, the tower itself remains closed to the public.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is indispensable for safe navigation into Shioya harbor, clearly marking the detached outer breakwater to prevent groundings and collisions.
