About Ōma Gyoko Kō North Breakwater Lighthouse
Also known as: Ōshima
A 11-meter tall cylindrical concrete tower, the Ōma Gyoko (Ōshima) Kō North Breakwater light stands on the northern arm of the harbor's breakwater. It emits a red flash every 3 seconds. The structure features a lantern and gallery, and its light is visible for 11.3 nautical miles. This operational light is situated 0.2 kilometers from Toyoura port. While visitors can access the site, the tower itself remains closed to the public.
Why it matters: This navigational aid is essential for the fishing fleet operating from Ōma Gyoko, guiding vessels safely into and out of the port, particularly during periods of low visibility or adverse weather. Its specific placement on the north breakwater clearly marks the safe channel into the harbor.
