About Maegomori Kō Lighthouse
A white, cylindrical concrete tower, 9 meters in height, marks the north end of the detached breakwater at Maegomori Kō. Topped with a flared structure, it stands 16 meters above sea level. The lighthouse emits a single green flash every 3 seconds, visible for 12.2 nautical miles. It is attached to a small equipment shelter. The site is open to the public, though access to the tower itself is restricted. This navigational aid is located in Toshima, within Kagoshima Prefecture, near the port of Takarajima.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for local fishing boats and other small craft, clearly marking the north end of Maegomori's detached breakwater. Its distinct green flash helps mariners avoid collision with the breakwater's submerged sections, thereby ensuring safe navigation into the small harbor.
