About Moroyose Lighthouse
Also known as: Moroyose (Hiyori Yama, Hiwayama)
Constructed in 1986, this lighthouse features a round cylindrical concrete tower painted white. It stands 9 meters tall, with its light positioned at a focal height of 23 meters. The light emits a continuous white signal, designed to illuminate a nearby reef. This station is situated on the heights above the harbor of Moroyose, within the Hyogo Prefecture. The general purpose light previously operated here was deactivated in 2011. The lighthouse is located about 1.1 kilometers from the nearest port, Hamasaka.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is critical for local maritime safety, specifically by casting a continuous white spotlight onto a dangerous reef near the Moroyose harbor entrance. Its unique function as a dedicated reef illuminator, rather than a general navigation light, directly mitigates a specific hazard for vessels maneuvering in and out of the port.
