Kōbe Breakwater One West End Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Kōbe Breakwater One West End Lighthouse
This cylindrical concrete tower, standing 11 meters tall, marks the west end of Breakwater One at the entrance to Kōbe's Wadamisaki harbor. It has a flared top and emits an occulting red light, meaning it is dark for a period before flashing, on a 6-second cycle. The lighthouse's focal height reaches 13 meters, providing a geographic range of 11.3 nautical miles. Accessible only by boat due to its location on a detached breakwater, the site is open to the public while the tower itself remains closed. This structure is located approximately 1 kilometer from Rokko Island.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for guiding maritime traffic safely into Wadamisaki harbor and warns of the western extremity of Breakwater One.
