Nishina Kō Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Nishina Kō Lighthouse
A red cylindrical concrete post, 9.5 meters tall, marks the end of a detached breakwater at Nishina, Japan. This structure, which stands 12 meters above sea level, was established around 2009. It emits a single red flash every three seconds, visible for 11 nautical miles. The post is attached to a small, one-story equipment room. The site is accessible, but the tower itself is closed to the public.
Why it matters: This light guides vessels into Nishina harbor, warning them of the breakwater's end. Its placement is essential for the safe navigation of local fishing boats and small craft.
