About Kojirahama Kō Lighthouse
Also known as: #Kojirahama Kō
This red cylindrical concrete post, standing 9 meters tall, was first lit in 2018. It is situated on the breakwater at Kojirahama Kō, guiding vessels toward Kamaishi. The focal height of the light is 11 meters, and it emits a red flash every 3 seconds. The previous structure was destroyed by the 2011 tsunami. Following the disaster, a temporary buoy marked the entrance until the current light was installed in March 2018. Its geographic range is 10.7 nautical miles.
Why it matters: This light is essential for local fishing vessels and small craft, providing critical guidance as they navigate the entrance to Kojirahama Kō. Its red flash warns mariners of the breakwater's presence, ensuring safe passage into the protected harbor.
