About Ōzai Kō West Breakwater Lighthouse
Also known as: Ōzai Kō West Breakwater (?)
This red concrete post lighthouse, standing 9 meters tall, is situated at the eastern end of a detached breakwater on the east side of Ōita, Japan. The structure includes a 1-story concrete equipment room. It emitted a red light, flashing once every 6 seconds, with a geographic range of 11 nautical miles. The tower, reaching a focal height of 12 meters, was attached to a square equipment room. Recent observations from May 2023 suggest the light may have been removed, as it was not visible in photographs or satellite views. While the site is accessible by boat, the tower itself remains closed to the public.
Why it matters: The lighthouse served to warn vessels of the detached breakwater at Ōzai Kō, ensuring safe passage for boats using the port.
