About Kitami Eshashi Kō Lighthouse
Also known as: Esasi
The Kitami Eshashi Kō lighthouse is a cylindrical concrete tower standing 10 meters tall, with its light positioned 13 meters above sea level. Painted red, the structure features a lantern and gallery. Its light emits a single red flash every six seconds, visible for 11.3 nautical miles. The lighthouse is operational and guides vessels along the coast of Hokkaido Prefecture. While the site is open to the public, the tower itself is closed to visitors.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for local maritime traffic, particularly for vessels approaching the Kitami Eshashi port. Its distinct red flash pattern helps mariners identify safe channels and avoid potential hazards along this stretch of the Japanese coast.
