Amarubesaki Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan
The Amarube Saki Lighthouse features a steel hexagonal structure measuring 17 meters in height, positioned strategically along the Sea of Japan coastline.
Constructed in 1871 under Richard Henry Brunton's guidance, the original wooden octagonal structure was replaced with a steel design in 1884 to enhance durability.
The lighthouse represents Japan's maritime heritage and technological advancement during the country's modernization period in the late 19th century.
Visitors can reach the lighthouse via a cherry blossom-lined route from the national highway, with various viewing points available throughout the year.
The lighthouse holds the distinction of being Japan's tallest when measured by its elevation above sea level, offering expansive views of the surrounding waters.
