About Wakayama Kita Kō West Breakwater Lighthouse
This cylindrical concrete lighthouse, painted red, stands 17 meters tall on the west breakwater at the southern entrance to Wakayama's newer harbor. It emits a long red flash every 6 seconds, visible for 12.4 nautical miles. The lighthouse's original breakwater has been significantly shortened due to land reclamation for an adjacent industrial area. This transformation has reshaped the immediate surroundings, placing the structure within a landscape altered by industrial development. Despite environmental changes, the lighthouse remains operational, guiding vessels into the port.
Why it matters: This lighthouse marks the entrance to Wakayama's harbor, assisting commercial vessels serving the nearby industrial facilities.
