About Kazanasi Kō Lighthouse
Kazanasi Kō lighthouse, built in 1952, is a white concrete post attached to a 1-story square equipment building. Standing 9.5 meters tall, its focal plane reaches 14 meters above sea level. The lighthouse emits a green flashing light every 6 seconds, visible for 11.6 nautical miles. It is situated at the end of the main south breakwater of Kazanasi harbor, about 0.8 km from Koga port. This structure guides vessels into the harbor, approximately 2 km southwest of the Togi lighthouse. The lighthouse site is open to the public, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for safely navigating the entrance to Kazanasi harbor, marking the extremity of the main breakwater. Its green light serves as a critical visual aid for vessels entering or leaving the port.
