About Imazu Lighthouse
This concrete lighthouse stands 13 meters tall, with its light reaching 14 meters above the water. The cylindrical tower is painted black and features a single red horizontal band. It is mounted on a concrete pier and attached to a small equipment shelter, marking a shoal off the entrance to Imazu. The light emits one white flash every five seconds. While the site is open for visitors, the tower itself is closed to the public.
Why it matters: The lighthouse marks a hazardous shoal at the entrance to Imazu, guiding vessels safely into the port. Its light is essential for the continuous flow of maritime traffic and supports the region's coastal economy.
