Sunosaki Lighthouse, Maritime navigation point in Tateyama, Japan.
The cylindrical white concrete structure rises 14.8 meters above ground with a focal height of 45.1 meters above sea level.
Built in 1919, the lighthouse guides vessels through Uraga Channel and Tokyo Bay, forming a navigation system with Kannonzaki and Tsurugisaki lighthouses.
The lighthouse structure received official recognition as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property of Japan for its engineering and maritime significance.
Visitors reach the site by taking a 35-minute bus ride from JR Tateyama Station to Sunosaki Todai-Mae Bus Stop near the lighthouse.
From this southwestern point of Boso Peninsula, visitors observe Mount Fuji and Izu Oshima Island while marguerite flowers grow around the structure.
