Katsumoto Kō West Breakwater Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Katsumoto Kō West Breakwater Lighthouse
This concrete post, measuring 8.5 meters in height, stands on the western arm of Katsumoto's breakwater. Painted entirely red, it supports an equipment shelter and emits a red flash every 3 seconds. The light has a geographic range of 11 nautical miles. Its post structure is attached to a square equipment shelter, also painted red. Visitors can access the site, but the tower itself is closed to the public.
Why it matters: This light is essential for local fishing vessels and small craft, clearly marking the west breakwater and the safe channel into Katsumoto harbor, particularly during periods of low visibility or nighttime navigation.
