About Yanai Kō East Breakwater Lighthouse
This post-style lighthouse, standing 8.5 meters tall, is constructed of white-painted concrete and attached to a single-story equipment shelter. Its focal plane reaches 11 meters above the water. The light emits a single green flash every 6 seconds and has a nominal range of 10.7 nautical miles. It is situated on a detached breakwater within Yanai Port, Japan, approximately 0.3 km from the nearest port facilities. The site is accessible to the public, but the tower itself is closed to visitors.
