About Niigata Higashi West Breakwater Lighthouse
This red, triangular skeletal tower stands 13 meters tall at the end of Niigata Higashi harbor's west breakwater. Its light emits a single red flash every 3 seconds, visible for 11 nautical miles. The metal structure is situated 0.7 kilometers from the nearest port facilities within Niigata city's industrial area. It serves as a navigational aid at the entrance to this busy northeastern port. Although the tower itself is not open to the public, its operational status confirms its ongoing role.
Why it matters: This lighthouse's flash warns mariners of the extensive west breakwater, aiding safe navigation for commercial vessels entering and exiting the key industrial port of Niigata Higashi.
