Tsurushima Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Ehime Prefecture, Japan

The white stone lighthouse stands 10 meters tall at an elevation of 58 meters, emitting alternating white and red flashes every 16 seconds.

Built in 1873, this lighthouse was designed by British engineer Richard Henry Branton as the first western-style lighthouse facility in Ehime Prefecture.

The lighthouse complex includes an original official residence with preserved wood finishes and imported glass elements, reflecting the Meiji period architectural style.

Visitors can reach the lighthouse via ferry from Mitsuhama Port to Tsurushima Port, followed by a 20-minute walk on paved paths.

The lighthouse produces different light intensities: 310,000 candela for white flashes and 120,000 candela for red flashes, visible up to 20 nautical miles.
