Takamatsu Harbor Tamamo Pier Lighthouse

The red cylindrical lighthouse stands at the end of Tamamo breakwater, marking the entrance to Takamatsu Port with its glass construction.

The lighthouse began its maritime safety operations on December 28, 1964, as part of the post-war development of Japanese port infrastructure.

The structure received recognition as a night view heritage site of Japan in September 2019, reflecting its importance in maritime traditions.

Visitors can reach the lighthouse through a 15-minute walk from JR Takamatsu Station, with paid parking facilities available at Kowan Park.

This structure holds the distinction of being the first lighthouse in the world constructed entirely from glass materials.
