About Hibi Kō East Breakwater Lighthouse
A red, round concrete lighthouse built in 1971 marks the end of the east breakwater in Hibi harbor, Tamano. Standing 9.5 meters tall with a focal height of 13 meters, the structure consists of a concrete post with a lantern atop a 1-story equipment room. It emits a red flash every 3 seconds and has a geographic range of 11.3 nautical miles. The lighthouse guides vessels into the harbor, which is a hub for local fishing fleets and commercial traffic. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for the safe passage of fishing boats and local commercial vessels navigating the entrance to Hibi harbor.
