About Hatsu Kō Lighthouse
Also known as: #Hatsu Kō (Hazu Kō, Hatsu Saki)
This red, cylindrical concrete lighthouse was built in 1977 and stood 9.5 meters tall. It consisted of a concrete post attached to a single-story concrete equipment room. Located at the end of the north breakwater in Hatsu harbor, Okagaki, Japan, it served as a navigational aid for vessels entering the port. While the site remains accessible, the lighthouse structure was deactivated and removed in 2024.
Why it matters: The lighthouse provided a clear marker for mariners entering Hatsu harbor, aiding safe passage for local fishing boats and other vessels.
