Location & Light Range
About Kōbe Breakwater Three Lighthouse
The Kōbe Breakwater Three lighthouse, a cylindrical concrete tower standing 19 meters tall, was established and first lit in 1935. It is painted white and features a lantern and gallery. The lighthouse emits a single green flash every 7 seconds from a focal height of 17 meters, with a geographic range of 12.4 nautical miles. Located on a short detached breakwater near the east end of Ohashi island, it likely guided ships into Kōbe's inner harbor. The structure is accessible only by boat and is not open to the public.
Why it matters: This lighthouse historically marked the entrance to Kōbe's inner harbor. It remains locally relevant for mariners, as evidenced by its continued listing as active by FOAL despite being dropped by the Admiralty.
