About Nishiura Kō Lighthouse
Also known as: Nishiura Kō (Mikawa Nisiura)
Constructed in 1962, the Nishiura Kō Lighthouse stands as a white, cylindrical concrete tower, 14 meters tall. It is situated at the southern end of the breakwater in Katahara/Nishiura, approximately 1.1 kilometers from the port of Mikawa. The lighthouse emits a single green flash every three seconds. This light has a geographic range of 11 nautical miles. The structure includes a lantern and gallery at its summit.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for local fishing fleets and recreational boaters, providing a clear navigational aid to safely enter and exit the busy Katahara/Nishiura harbor. Its green flash specifically delineates the end of the south breakwater, preventing groundings and ensuring smooth passage in an area frequented by maritime activity.
