About Saga Kō Groin Lighthouse
Also known as: Tosasaga
This cylindrical concrete tower, standing 12 meters tall, is attached to a square equipment shelter and marks the end of a groin or breakwater at Saga Port. The lighthouse emits a single green flash every six seconds from a focal height of 20 meters, providing a visual cue for mariners. Its operational light has a geographic range of 13.2 nautical miles. The structure is located within the city of Kuroshio in Kochi Prefecture, Japan, a short distance from the nearest port facilities.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for the safe navigation of vessels entering and exiting Saga Port, guiding them through the harbor entrance. Its green flashes specifically mark the channel or the end of a protective structure, preventing groundings and ensuring efficient maritime traffic flow for local and commercial shipping.
