Ōno Lighthouse, Maritime navigation aid in Kanazawa, Japan.
Description
Ōno Lighthouse is a square concrete tower standing about 26 meters tall on the coast of Kanazawa with bright white exterior walls. It emits white light that can be seen from considerable distances to guide maritime traffic effectively.
History
A wooden signal structure was first built in 1878 and funded by shipowner Asakan Shichi to guide vessels in the area. The present concrete tower took over this function in 1934 and has served the maritime community since then.

The lighthouse forms part of the distinguished collection of 50 Lighthouses in Japan, representing the maritime heritage of the Ishikawa Prefecture region.
