Sekizaki Lighthouse, Cast iron lighthouse at Cape Seki, Japan.
Sekizaki Lighthouse is a cast iron structure located at Cape Seki in Oita, standing approximately 11 meters tall. The tower marks an important navigation point along the Hōyo Strait, serving vessels traveling through these coastal waters.
The lighthouse was built in 1901 and became the first permanent navigation aid in Oita Prefecture. Its construction marked a turning point in maritime safety for the region.
The lighthouse stands as a marker of maritime tradition in the region, representing the connection between seafaring life and coastal communities. Visitors notice how this structure reflects the importance of navigation and fishing to local people.
The lighthouse is accessible at Cape Seki and offers views of vessels navigating the Hōyo Strait. The best time to visit is during daylight hours to see the structure and the surrounding landscape clearly.
The structure features an optical system that projects its light beam far across the waters surrounding the coast. This technical feature allows it to guide vessels from considerable distances away.
