About Yokohama Daikoku Breakwater West Head Lighthouse
This lighthouse stands as a red, cylindrical concrete tower 23 meters in height, topped with a lantern and gallery.

This position places it beyond the older Outer Breakwater, providing a key visual reference for ships approaching the port. The light emits an occulting red signal, appearing once every 4 seconds. This structure's geographic range extends to 13.8 nautical miles, guiding vessels safely.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is indispensable for maritime safety, marking the western end of the Daikoku breakwater, a critical entry point for vessels heading into Yokohama's inner harbor. Its light prevents ships from encountering the breakwater, ensuring smooth navigation through this heavily trafficked port.
