About Yotsukura Kō Lighthouse
Also known as: Yotsukura Kō (Detached Breakwater)
A red, cylindrical concrete tower, 9 meters high, marks the south end of a detached breakwater off the Yotsukura fishing port. The structure features a flared top and stands 13 meters above sea level. Its light emits a single red flash every 6 seconds, visible for 11.3 nautical miles. The site is accessible by boat, though the tower itself remains closed to visitors. The lighthouse is located in Iwaki, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan.
Why it matters: This lighthouse provides critical guidance for the local fishing fleet of Yotsukura, ensuring safe passage into and out of the port.
