About Fukushima Kō Lighthouse
Also known as: Hukushima
Located on the shores of Fukushima Port, this lighthouse stands as a concrete post atop a single-story equipment building. Its square structure reaches a height of 9.5 meters, with the light positioned 11 meters above sea level. The facility has been operational since its construction, guiding vessels with a geographic range of 10.7 nautical miles. The site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself remains closed. It serves as a point of reference for diverse marine traffic within the busy port area, assisting both fishing boats and cargo ships.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for guiding all vessels safely through the channels and berths of Fukushima Port, preventing collisions in a busy commercial and fishing harbor. Its continuous operation supports the regional economy dependent on sea trade and fishing.
