About Kashima South Breakwater Lighthouse
This skeletal tower, constructed of steel and painted white, stands 11 meters tall. It is situated on the south breakwater at Kashima, Japan, marking the port's entrance. The light emits a single white flash every 3 seconds, with a focal height of 16 meters. This structure has been relocated multiple times, most recently after surviving the 2011 tsunami. Its geographic range extends to 12.2 nautical miles, guiding vessels into the port.
Why it matters: The light's repeated relocation underscores the dynamic coastal engineering efforts in the region. Its survival of the 2011 tsunami highlights its critical role in a vulnerable coastal area.
