About Komenotsu Kō West Breakwater Lighthouse
This red concrete post, standing 8.5 meters tall, was situated on the west breakwater of Komenotsu harbor, located at the southern end of Yatsushiro Bay. The structure included a square equipment shelter and emitted a red light. It served as a navigational aid for vessels entering Komenotsu harbor. The light was removed in 2010 due to the construction of new breakwaters.
Why it matters: Its removal in 2010 reflects the modernization of Komenotsu harbor's infrastructure, demonstrating how evolving maritime needs lead to updated navigational aids.
