About Kushimoto Town Lighthouses Lighthouse
This concrete lighthouse, standing 8.5 meters tall, was first lit in 1932. Its structure consists of a red concrete post rising from a one-story equipment building. Situated on a rocky point at the river entrance to Koza, it is located just a few feet from the coastal highway. The light emits a red occulting signal every 8 seconds, with a focal height of 11 meters and a geographic range of 10.7 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for safe navigation into the Koza River, guiding local fishing and coastal vessels. It also serves as a visible landmark from the coastal highway.
