Erimomisaki Lighthouse, Lighthouse at Cape Erimo, Japan
The 19-meter lighthouse stands on a 60-meter cliff, directing ships through the Pacific Ocean waters with white light visible from 35 kilometers away.
Construction of the lighthouse began in 1889 to protect vessels from dangerous rocks, making it one of the first navigation structures in southern Hokkaido.
The lighthouse gained recognition through Shinichi Mori's song about Cape Erimo, which describes the strong winds and natural elements of this maritime location.
Visitors can reach the lighthouse by taking a JR train to Samani station, followed by a local bus service that connects to Cape Erimo.
The structure operates amid constant winds reaching speeds of 40 meters per second, supporting maritime safety near a colony of Kurile seals.
