About Yokohama South Outer Breakwater Lighthouse
Built in 1939, this cylindrical concrete lighthouse stands 24 meters tall, with its focal plane at 47 meters. The white tower features a lantern and gallery, and is connected to a two-story service building. Its light characteristic was a white flash, visible for 19 nautical miles. This structure was located at the north end of the south outer breakwater of Yokohama Inner Harbor, near the Yokohama Harbor Bridge. The lighthouse has been inactive since 2019. Access is restricted to boats, and the tower remains closed to the public.
Why it matters: Its primary function was to mark the south outer breakwater, a significant navigational aid for vessels entering the high-traffic Yokohama Inner Harbor.
