Kantorisaki Lighthouse, Navigation lighthouse in Taiji, Japan
The white octagonal tower of Kantorisaki Lighthouse stands on the southern coast of Wakayama Prefecture, serving as a maritime guide for vessels.
The original lighthouse structure from 1922 was destroyed by an earthquake, leading to the construction of a reinforced concrete tower completed in 1923.
The lighthouse represents the modernization of Japan's maritime infrastructure following the Anglo-Japanese Treaty of Amity and Commerce of 1858.
Located at coordinates 33.582222 latitude and 135.958611 longitude, the lighthouse beam reaches vessels up to 19 nautical miles from the coast.
The structure withstood the Great Kanto earthquake of September 1923 and began its illumination operations on June 1, 1925.
