About Hakata Kō East Breakwater Lighthouse
This square, two-stage concrete lighthouse stands 10 meters tall at the western end of the Hakata Kō East Breakwater in Fukuoka, Japan. It features two galleries and emits an isophase green light every 6 seconds, visible for 11 nautical miles. The lighthouse sits on a breakwater that extends parallel to the shore, serving to protect the commercial piers and the harbor within. Access to the structure, which has a focal height of 12 meters, is restricted to maritime vessels, and the tower itself is closed to the public.
Why it matters: This lighthouse marks the western extremity of the East Breakwater, guiding vessels away from this hazard and into the protected waters of Hakata Port.
