Aji Kō Lighthouse

Also known as: Azi

Aji Kō Lighthouse is situated at the northern end of a detached breakwater within Aji Harbor. This concrete post structure, painted red, rises from a single-story equipment shelter. It emits a red light that flashes every four seconds, providing a consistent signal for navigators. The lighthouse guides vessels into and out of Aji Port, an area supporting local shipping. Its operational status continues today, though the tower and site are not open to the public and are best observed from the water or across the harbor.

Why it matters: The lighthouse is important for ships navigating the entrance to Aji Port, specifically warning of the detached breakwater it marks. Its red flashing light offers a clear visual cue for vessels entering or leaving the harbor.
