About Sōma Kō Matsukawa South Breakwater Lighthouse
This concrete lighthouse, standing 11 meters tall, marks the extremity of the main breakwater at Matsukawa harbor, southeast of Sōma. The structure consists of a square, one-story concrete equipment building from which a square concrete post rises. Its light emits a single green flash every four seconds, visible for nearly 12 nautical miles. The lighthouse is situated approximately 0.7 kilometers from the nearest port of Souma. This operational aid provides guidance for vessels entering the sheltered waters of Matsukawa harbor.
Why it matters: The light is essential for vessels navigating the entrance to Matsukawa harbor, specifically warning them of the end of the south breakwater. Its consistent green flash offers a reliable reference point for local fishing boats and other small craft operating in this coastal area.
