About Uryu Kō Entrance Beacon Lighthouse
A cylindrical white concrete tower, the Uryu Kō Entrance Beacon was first lit in 1983. It stands 13 meters tall, with its light positioned 36 meters above sea level. This beacon illuminates the narrow entrance to Uryu harbor from its location on the western side of the promontory marking the harbor's mouth. Its geographic range extends to 16.4 nautical miles. The structure features a round, cylindrical concrete design, painted white. Visitors can access the site, but the tower itself is closed to the public.
Why it matters: The beacon's precise placement and its continuous white light are essential for mariners navigating the narrow entrance to Uryu harbor, preventing groundings and collisions.
