About Kashiwa Shima Breakwater Lighthouse
This lighthouse stands at the terminus of Kashiwa Shima's main southern breakwater, guiding maritime traffic in the vicinity of Karatsu. The structure consists of a concrete post atop a one-story square concrete equipment building, reaching a focal height of 11 meters above the water. Its red concrete tower measures 8.5 meters tall and emits an occulting red light, appearing once every 6 seconds. This light offers a geographic range of 10.7 nautical miles. The site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself is closed. It is located approximately 0.1 kilometers from the nearest port, Kashikojima.
Why it matters: This light is essential for mariners approaching Kashiwa Shima, marking the end of the main southern breakwater and guiding vessels safely into the harbor, thereby preventing collisions with the structure and submerged dangers.
