Irōzaki Lighthouse, Scottish engineering lighthouse in Minamiizu, Japan.
The Irōzaki Lighthouse stands as a white and red navigational structure on the rocky coastline of Shizuoka Prefecture, guiding ships through local waters.
Constructed in 1871, the lighthouse emerged from Richard Henry Brunton's extensive project to establish modern maritime navigation systems across Japan's coastline.
The lighthouse represents a period of rapid technological advancement during the Meiji era when Japan integrated Western engineering principles into its infrastructure.
The lighthouse operates continuously at coordinates 34.602733, 138.8451931, providing essential navigational support to vessels traversing the surrounding waters.
Richard Henry Brunton incorporated Scottish lighthouse design principles into the structure, creating a fusion of European engineering with Japanese construction methods.
