About Yakumo Town Lighthouses Lighthouse
A white, cylindrical concrete tower 11 meters in height is situated at the extremity of the northern breakwater that safeguards Ainuma harbor. This lighthouse provides an occulting green light, characterized by a single flash every 8 seconds, which can be seen up to 12.2 nautical miles away. The light source is positioned 16 meters above sea level. The building comprises a lantern room and a surrounding gallery. Public access is permitted to the grounds, but the tower itself is not open. Motomachi, the closest port, is located about 7 kilometers distant.
Why it matters: This lighthouse functions as a navigation aid for vessels entering and leaving Ainuma harbor, indicating the end of the primary breakwater. Public access to the location allows for greater appreciation of maritime safety markers and local landmarks.
