About Kuro Guri Lighthouse
Also known as: Kuro Guri (Kurogiri)
This 9-meter concrete cylindrical tower, painted white, stands on a detached rubblestone breakwater off the west side of the Tsunekami peninsula. It houses a white light that flashes once every 6 seconds. The structure includes a 1-story equipment shelter also painted white. Operational since its construction, the site is accessible by boat and open to the public, though the tower itself remains closed. It is located near Ogawa within the Wakasa region of Fukui Prefecture.
Why it matters: This lighthouse guides vessels around the specific detached rubblestone breakwater it marks, preventing groundings and ensuring safe passage in the local waters.
