Saikazaki Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse at Saikazaki Cape, Wakayama, Japan
The white lighthouse rises prominently on the cliffs of Saikazaki Cape, offering views of Tomogashima, Awaji Island, and the Kii Channel from its observation deck.
Constructed between 1871 and 1874, the lighthouse marked a crucial navigation point for vessels traversing the complex waters near the Kii Peninsula.
The lighthouse stands in an area formerly controlled by the Saiga Ikki warriors during the Sengoku period, near the historic Kishu Domain observation post.
Visitors can access the three-floor lighthouse via a local bus service followed by a walking path, with the third floor providing the best observation points.
The lighthouse overlooks the Saikazaki fishing port, where houses line the steep shoreline in a pattern that earned it the nickname 'Japanese Amalfi'.
