About Akaiso Iwa Lighthouse
Akaiso Iwa is located on a reef 300 meters from the shore of Hirota harbor, within Hirota Bay. The structure is a 10-meter red concrete post that stands on a square, one-story equipment room. It shows a red light that flashes once every three seconds (Fl R 3s). The light source is 11 meters above sea level, and the light is visible for 10.7 nautical miles. The location is accessible to the public, though access to the tower is restricted. Kesennuma is the nearest port, 5.5 kilometers distant.
Why it matters: Akaiso Iwa serves as a navigation aid, warning vessels of a submerged reef and marking the entrance to Hirota harbor.
