About Shibetsu Kō Lighthouse
Also known as: Sibetu
The Shibetsu Kō Lighthouse is a 11-meter cylindrical concrete tower built in 1980. Painted red, it stands 16 meters above sea level. The lighthouse emits a red light with an occulting characteristic, meaning it is regularly obscured for brief periods. This modern structure guides vessels approaching Shibetsu Port, Japan, offering a geographic range of 12.2 nautical miles. While the tower is closed to visitors, the site remains open, allowing a closer view of the lighthouse against the backdrop of the port.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for vessels navigating into and out of Shibetsu Port, particularly for local fishing boats and commercial shipping traffic.
