Hanabuchi Lighthouse, Maritime navigational structure in Shichigahama, Japan.
The 31-meter tall lighthouse stands on the coast of Sendai Bay, constructed with 193,000 Japanese-made bricks and features ninety-nine interior stairs.
Built during the early Meiji period, this lighthouse forms part of the maritime safety infrastructure designed by British engineer R. H. Brunton for Japanese waters.
The lighthouse functions as a maritime heritage site where visitors can learn about navigation history through guided tours and museum exhibitions.
The first-order lens system emits a single white flash every 15 seconds, providing visibility for ships up to 36.1 kilometers from the shoreline.
The number of stairs inside the lighthouse corresponds to the traditional measurement of Kujukuri Beach, which spans 99 'ri' in length.
