Echizen Misaki Lighthouse, Coastal lighthouse in Fukui Prefecture, Japan.
The Echizen Cape Lighthouse stands on a 130-meter cliff overlooking the Sea of Japan, serving as a vital navigation point for maritime traffic.
The lighthouse began operating during the Meiji period to address the increasing maritime traffic and safety concerns along the northwestern coast of Japan.
The lighthouse received designation as a 'Love Lighthouse' in June 2017, highlighting its role in local traditions and community connections.
Visitors can reach the lighthouse by taking a bus from JR Fukui Station to the Suisen Land entrance, followed by a 15-minute walk.
The lighthouse grounds include observation decks offering views of wild daffodils blooming along the rocky coastline during winter months.
