高根島灯台, 19th century stone lighthouse in Takane Island, Japan.

The white stone lighthouse stands on the elevated point of Takane Island, providing guidance to vessels navigating through the Seto Inland Sea.

The Takane Island Lighthouse began its maritime service on May 15, 1894, maintaining its original stone construction through generations of seafaring navigation.

The structure holds recognition as one of Japan's 50 Selected Lighthouses, demonstrating the nation's commitment to maritime heritage preservation.

Visitors can reach the lighthouse via a 3-minute walk from the free parking area, which accommodates 5 vehicles after crossing Takane Bridge from Setoda.

The lighthouse grounds display seasonal flowers, with daffodils in winter and cherry blossoms in spring, against panoramic views of Mount Fudekage.
