About Tobi Shima Kō South Breakwater Lighthouse
This concrete lighthouse, built in 1968, stands 8.5 meters tall with its light positioned 12 meters above sea level. It is located at the end of the south breakwater for Tobi Shima's harbor in Sakata, Yamagata Prefecture. The cylindrical tower, painted white, features a flared top and is connected to a small, single-story concrete equipment shelter. Its green light emits a single flash every 3 seconds, visible for 11 nautical miles. The site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: This light guides vessels past the south breakwater into Tobi Shima's harbor, supporting the local fishing industry and ensuring safe passage.
