About Tomisaki Kō Lighthouse
This lighthouse, built in 1966, is a red, cylindrical concrete structure standing 8.5 meters tall. It is situated at the end of the south breakwater at Tomisaki, a small harbor protected by Mera Hana. The light emits a single red flash every six seconds. The structure consists of the concrete post attached to a single-story equipment shelter. The site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for guiding fishing boats and other small vessels into the sheltered harbor of Tomisaki, marking the entrance and averting hazards near the breakwater and Mera Hana.
