Location & Light Range
About Nemuro Kō North Breakwater Lighthouse
A cylindrical concrete tower, 14 meters high, was built and first lit in 1945 at the end of the north breakwater marking the north entrance to Nemuro harbor. Painted white, the structure features a lantern and gallery. Its light is green, exhibiting a single flash every 3 seconds. The lighthouse is located 0.4 kilometers from the nearest port, Nemuro, in Hokkaido Prefecture. The site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is critical for guiding fishing vessels and other maritime traffic safely into Nemuro Harbor, a significant port on Hokkaido's eastern coast. Its position on the north breakwater delineates the safe channel entrance.
