About Katsumoto Kō Outer Breakwater Lighthouse
A white, cylindrical concrete tower, 11 meters in height, with its light 15 meters above sea level. The structure is round with a flared top, connected to a small equipment shelter. It displays a green light, flashing every 3 seconds (Fl G 3s), with a geographic range of 11.9 nautical miles. Located on the southern end of an outer detached breakwater, it marks the western entry to Katsumoto, a fishing harbor on Iki Island. Access to the grounds is permitted, but the tower is not open for entry.
Why it matters: This light serves as a navigation aid for ships entering and leaving Katsumoto port, a significant reference for the local fishing fleet in the nearby waters.
