We heard that “Imazu Lighthouse” will be relocated in November 2023, and that its light will be turned off at 19:00 on August 10, so we had Sensei @ Nishi2 make a quick run over there.
(This information was provided by Iroha @ Nishi2 Supporter. Thank you!)
The current Imazu Lighthouse↓
Oh wow, it’s kind of surrounded by barriers. Still, it looks so hot out there
That’s right. Preparations for relocating Imazu Lighthouse are steadily moving ahead.
It’s surrounded by fencing like this.
See? It’s properly glowing green. Even though you can’t see the lighthouse itself.
Apparently, it’s still functioning as a lighthouse for the time being, but when Sensei mentioned it, he took off in a flash and went at lunchtime, so we decided to have him dash back again at night too!
And at night, it looks like this↓
It’s definitely lit up green
You can see the green light from another angle too, so even with the fencing around it, and even though it’s Japan’s oldest wooden lighthouse, it’s still doing its job properly.
Finally
Imazu Lighthouse is scheduled to be suspended at 19:00 on August 10, with a lights-out ceremony to be held. This will be the last time to see it in its green form. Next, it will be red. Here’s why
