Masaki Kō Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Masaki Kō Lighthouse
This 8-meter red concrete lighthouse, standing at a focal height of 12 meters, guides vessels into Masaki Harbor. The cylindrical tower is attached to a one-story concrete equipment room. Its geographic range extends to 11 nautical miles, and it emits a single red flash every 3 seconds. Located at the end of the breakwater in southern Matsuyama, the lighthouse structure is accessible to the public, although entry into the tower itself is not permitted. The nearest port, Iyo, is approximately 0.6 kilometers away.
Why it matters: Masaki Kō is essential for the safe navigation of vessels, particularly local fishing fleets and smaller commercial craft, entering and exiting Masaki Harbor. Its red flash precisely marks the end of the breakwater, preventing groundings and ensuring clear passage into the port.
