About Kawasaki North Breakwater Lighthouse
The Kawasaki North Breakwater lighthouse, a red, square skeletal tower standing 24 meters tall, guided ships into the Kawasaki docks. Mounted on a large equipment building, its focal height was 7 meters, and it emitted an isophase red light on a 6-second cycle. The lighthouse was situated on the quay at the north entrance to the docks, directing traffic as vessels approached. It had a geographic range of 4 nautical miles and was located 0.7 kilometers from the port of Higashi-Ogishima. The lighthouse has been inactive since 2017.
Why it matters: This lighthouse directed commercial shipping within the congested Kawasaki docks, specifically aiding vessels approaching the north entrance to mitigate collision risks.
