Cape Zanpa Lighthouse, Lighthouse at Cape Zanpa, Yomitan, Japan.

The white concrete lighthouse rises 30 meters above the rocky coastline, with an observation deck offering views of the East China Sea.

The Cape Zanpa Lighthouse began operations in 1970 to guide maritime vessels through the challenging waters surrounding the Okinawan archipelago.

The lighthouse stands as a symbol of maritime heritage in Okinawa, representing the connection between local communities and seafaring traditions.

Visitors can climb the internal staircase between 9:30 AM and 5:30 PM without paying an entrance fee to reach the observation platform.

The lighthouse structure features distinctive black horizontal stripes that contrast with its white exterior, making it visible from considerable distances.
