About Toden Hirono South Breakwater Lighthouse
This 13-meter white cylindrical concrete lighthouse stands at the end of the Hirono Power Plant's south breakwater. It guides vessels toward the power plant, located just outside the Fukushima nuclear exclusion zone. The structure comprises a concrete post attached to a square, single-story equipment shelter. Its green light flashes once every 6 seconds, visible for 12.4 nautical miles. The lighthouse was operational again after the Hirono Power Plant was restored in July 2011 and the town of Hirono reopened in April 2012. The site and tower are not accessible to the public.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for the safe navigation of vessels supplying the Hirono Power Plant, a key energy facility. Its continued operation signifies the return of maritime activity to an area affected by the 2011 disaster.
