About Urakawa Kō North Breakwater Lighthouse
A white, cylindrical concrete lighthouse marks the end of the inner north breakwater at Urakawa Port. Built in 1962, this 9.45-meter structure features a square concrete equipment shelter at its base. It emits a single green flash every 5 seconds, visible for nearly 11 nautical miles. The lighthouse stands 11 meters above sea level, guiding vessels into Hidaka city's harbor. The site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is indispensable for the safe navigation of vessels into Urakawa Port, specifically delineating the inner north breakwater and supporting local maritime traffic.
