About Ujiyamada Kō Lighthouse

Also known as: #Ujiyamada Kō

The Ujiyamada Kō lighthouse is a square skeletal tower, 8 meters tall, standing on a 1-story equipment shelter. It stands at the end of a long guidewall at the entrance to Ujiyamada harbor in Ise, Mie Prefecture. The lighthouse emits a single red flash every 3 seconds, visible for 10.4 nautical miles. The original structure was replaced in or before 2022. While the tower itself is closed to the public, the site is accessible by boat.

Why it matters: This lighthouse is important for guiding vessels safely into and out of Ujiyamada harbor, particularly given its position at the end of a long guidewall.
