Motta Misaki Lighthouse, Lighthouse in Shimamaki, Japan.
The Motta Cape Lighthouse stands at an elevation of 290 meters on the western coast of the Oshima Peninsula in Hokkaido.
The lighthouse first illuminated on April 11, 1937, and remained staffed by keepers and their families until its automation in 1963.
The lighthouse structure features a pointed roof with black and white patterns, representing traditional Japanese maritime architecture of the early 20th century.
Access requires driving through a narrow paved forest road from Route 229, which closes during winter months due to weather conditions.
The lighthouse reaches a light distance of 43.5 kilometers with an effective luminous intensity of 470,000 candelas.
