About Toyokita Kō Lighthouse
This concrete post lighthouse stands 8 meters tall, with its light at 11 meters above sea level. It is painted red and attached to a square, single-story equipment shelter. The structure marks the end of a breakwater on the west side of the Tokida River, guiding vessels into the Toyokita fishing port. The light emits a single red flash every six seconds and has a geographic range of 10.7 nautical miles. Visitors can access the site, but the tower itself remains closed to the public.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is indispensable for the local fishing fleet navigating the Tokida River and accessing the Toyokita fishing port. Its distinct red flash every six seconds provides a clear guide, supporting the safe passage of vessels that sustain the region's fishing industry.
