About Kanazawa Kō West Breakwater Lighthouse
This navigational aid is a 10-meter concrete post, painted entirely red and attached to a single-story equipment shelter. It stands 13 meters above sea level, emitting a red flash every 4 seconds. The lighthouse is situated near the west breakwater of Kanazawa Port, approximately 2.1 kilometers from the main harbor. Its operational status is confirmed, and it has a geographic range of 11.3 nautical miles. The structure serves to mark the western edge of the breakwater protecting Kanazawa.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's red flash warns vessels of the west breakwater's presence, which is essential for preventing collisions and grounding when entering or leaving Kanazawa Port.
