About Tokoro North Breakwater Lighthouse
This concrete post light stands 9.5 meters tall and was first lit in 1958 at the end of the main north breakwater in Tokoro. The structure is painted red and includes a square, single-story equipment room. It emits a red light that flashes every three seconds, visible for nearly 12 nautical miles. The lighthouse is situated about 12 km west of Cape Notoro, within Hokkaido Prefecture. Its location guides vessels into the harbor, marking the extent of the breakwater.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for safe navigation into Tokoro harbor, clearly marking the end of the north breakwater and preventing collisions with the submerged structure.
