About Mikawa Lighthouse
This white, cylindrical concrete tower measures 15 meters in height, with the light source situated 25 meters above sea level. The structure features a lantern room and gallery atop a round tower. It displays a white flash every four seconds, observable up to 14.3 nautical miles. Situated in Hakusan, Ishikawa Prefecture, it is positioned along a remarkably long, straight, and level stretch of coast adjacent to the Hokuriku Expressway. Access to the grounds is permitted, but entry into the tower is restricted. The port of Kanazawa lies 10.4 kilometers distant.
Why it matters: The Mikawa Lighthouse offers navigation assistance along the Ishikawa Prefecture coastline, noted for its unusual straight and level geography within Japan. Its position also provides a landmark for those traveling on the nearby Hokuriku Expressway.
