About Oseto No. 2 Range Rear Lighthouse
Oseto No. 2 Range Rear is a 28-meter tall steel tower built in 1966 near the entrance to Ogura Marina in Kitakyūshū. The cylindrical structure features a gallery and a triangular daymark. Its yellow light flashes continuously, offering a geographic range of 15.3 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself remains closed. The nearest port, Kokura, is 1.5 kilometers away. This structure serves as the rear marker for a navigational range.
Why it matters: As the rear light of a range, Oseto No. 2 is essential for providing precise alignment with its front marker. This guidance is critical for vessels navigating the approach channel to Ogura Marina, helping to prevent groundings and collisions in busy waters.
