About Yawatahama Kō Lighthouse
This 8.5-meter white concrete post stands at the end of a breakwater, marking the northern entrance to Yawatahama harbor. The post rises from a square, single-story concrete equipment shelter. Its light displays an occulting green signal, with a flash every 4 seconds, visible for 10.7 nautical miles. The structure is located within the Yawatahama port area, about 0.3 kilometers from the city center. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself is closed. This navigational aid has served for many years, guiding vessels into the harbor.
Why it matters: Yawatahama Kō is essential for the safe navigation of maritime traffic entering and exiting Yawatahama harbor, a key regional port. Its specific light marking guides vessels clear of the breakwater into protected waters.
