Tappisaki Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Sotogahama, Japan
The cylindrical tower of Tappisaki Lighthouse rises 13.72 meters high, constructed with brick and concrete materials on Cape Tappi's northernmost point.
The lighthouse, completed in 1932, received a radio beacon installation in 1933 to strengthen maritime navigation through the Tsugaru Strait waters.
The Japan Lighthouse Association recognizes Tappisaki as one of the 50 selected lighthouses that represent the maritime heritage of Japan.
Since 2005, visitors can access the lighthouse grounds while its automated light system continues to guide ships with a range of 24 nautical miles.
The lighthouse beam, powered by a metal halide lamp installed in 1998, produces an intensity of 470,000 candela from its focal height of 119 meters.
