About Kōzushima Kō Lighthouse
Established in 1970, this lighthouse guides vessels into Kōzushima Kō, a port on the west side of Kōzu Shima. The current structure is an octagonal pyramidal concrete tower painted red, standing 10 meters tall. It replaced an earlier tower, with the station's original light updated after 2007. The focal height reaches 11 meters, and its geographic range is 10.7 nautical miles. The light emits a single red flash every five seconds, illuminating the entrance to the port. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is not accessible.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is indispensable for maritime traffic navigating into Kōzushima Kō, a critical harbor for the island's economy and connectivity, specifically guiding vessels through the jetty entrance.
