About Kotoura Kō East Breakwater Lighthouse
Constructed in 1954, this 9-meter concrete post, painted red, marks the eastern breakwater's end in Kotoura harbor, Kurashiki. It originates from a square, single-level concrete structure housing equipment. The light displays a red flash each 6 seconds, with a visible distance of 10.7 nautical miles. Located 0.1 kilometers from Kotoura port, the grounds are accessible, but the structure is not open for entry.
Why it matters: This structure serves as a marker for the eastern breakwater, guiding ships into Kotoura harbor and avoiding contact with the bottom.
