About Shikabe Kō Lighthouse
Also known as: Sikaba
This concrete lighthouse consists of a square post attached to a single-story concrete equipment building. Standing 8.5 meters tall, its focal height reaches 14 meters above sea level. The structure's white square tower emits a green flash every 3 seconds, visible for 11.6 nautical miles. Located at Shikabe Port in Hokkaido Prefecture, Japan, it guides vessels into the harbor. The site is accessible to the public, although the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: Shikabe Kō is essential for the safe passage of fishing vessels and local shipping navigating the entrance to Shikabe Port. Its green flash provides a distinct and reliable signal, preventing groundings or collisions in the busy harbor approach.
