About Karatsu Breakwater East Head Lighthouse
The Karatsu Breakwater East Head lighthouse was a concrete post situated atop a square, one-story concrete equipment building. The entire structure was painted red and stood 10 meters tall. Its focal height was also 10 meters, and it emitted a white flashing light. The lighthouse marked the southeast end of Karatsu's detached main breakwater. It was inactive since 2020 and has since been removed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse served to clearly mark the end of the detached main breakwater, guiding vessels entering or leaving Karatsu port and helping them avoid the structure.
