About Kazusa Toyohama Kō Lighthouse
Established in 1981, this concrete lighthouse guides vessels entering Kazusa Toyohama Kō. The cylindrical, white structure stands 9 meters tall on the end of the breakwater, extending seaward from the northeast side of Katsuura. Its light, positioned 12 meters above sea level, emits an occulting green signal, meaning the light is visible for a period and then obscured for a period, cycling every 4 seconds. The lighthouse offers a geographic range of 11 nautical miles. It is located 1.3 kilometers from the nearest port.
Why it matters: The light's green signal specifically marks the end of the breakwater, assisting local fishing boats and other vessels in safely navigating the approach to Toyohama port.
