About Megawa Lighthouse
Also known as: #Megawa (Onogawa) Kō North Breakwater
Megawa Lighthouse, a cylindrical concrete tower standing 10 meters tall, began operation in 1967. Its structure is described as a round hourglass shape. It emits a red light that flashes once every 6 seconds. The focal height is also 10 meters, with a geographic range of 10.4 nautical miles. This lighthouse is situated very near the port of Onagawa, just 0.5 kilometers away. It is listed under the ARLHS number JPN-1160.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's red flash every 6 seconds helps differentiate it from other lights, aiding local fishing boats and coastal cargo vessels in navigating potentially hazardous areas along the Japanese coastline. Its presence contributes to the safety and efficiency of coastal shipping routes.
