About Kokurakita Ward Lighthouses Lighthouse
This red concrete lighthouse, built in 1974, stands 9.5 meters tall on a 1-story equipment room. It is situated at the extremity of a long pier in Kitakyushu's Kokura district, marking a breakwater connected to land by a footbridge. The structure, painted red, emits an occulting red light that flashes every 4 seconds, with a focal height of 11 meters. Vessels can see its light up to 10.7 nautical miles away. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse guides vessels around the breakwater protecting the local harbor, ensuring safe navigation for ships entering and departing the area.
