About Aburatsu Kō East Breakwater Lighthouse
This 8.5-meter concrete post lighthouse, first lit in 1935, stands at the end of Aburatsu Harbor's east inner breakwater. The structure, painted red, includes a square, single-story equipment room and rises to a focal height of 13 meters. Its red light emits a single flash every four seconds, visible for 11.3 nautical miles. The lighthouse is constructed from concrete and its site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed. The nearest port, Aburatsu, is just 0.3 kilometers away.
Why it matters: The lighthouse marks the end of the east inner breakwater, guiding vessels safely into Aburatsu Harbor and preventing collisions with the structure.
