About Rumoi Inner Breakwater Lighthouse
This lighthouse, constructed in 1974, stands as a cylindrical concrete tower painted white. It rises 11 meters, with its light positioned 12 meters above the water. The structure features a lantern and gallery and is located at the end of the inner north breakwater in Rumoi, Hokkaido Prefecture. Its light emits a green flash every 3 seconds, visible for 11 nautical miles. The station itself was originally established in 1932, predating the current tower.
