About Suma Lighthouse
Also known as: #Suma (Outer Suma Tower)
The Suma observation building was a 19-meter cylindrical structure situated in Suma, a ward on the west side of Kōbe. It was supported by pilings and integrated into a complex of public fishing piers. The building served as a visual landmark along the coastline. Its operational status and specific light characteristics are not detailed in the narrative, but it was removed between 2023 and 2024 along with most of the supporting pier.
Why it matters: This structure was notable for its integration into a public fishing pier complex, functioning as a coastal marker rather than a traditional lighthouse. Its removal represents a significant alteration to the local Suma waterfront.
