Hitachi Lighthouse, White lighthouse in Hitachi, Japan.

Hitachi Lighthouse is a navigational beacon on the Pacific coast that rises roughly 42 meters above sea level. The structure displays a modern design inspired by the shape of traditional Japanese candles.

The beacon began service in 1967 as part of harbor development, guiding ships along the growing coastal infrastructure. This period marked a key step in modernizing Hitachi Port.

The lighthouse takes a shape inspired by traditional Japanese candles, reflecting a design approach that merges maritime function with local forms. Informational displays on the grounds trace shipping history and connect this location to other coastal points across the nation.

The site is reachable by roughly a 20-minute walk from Ominato Station and offers parking nearby at the adjacent Furubochi Park. The access route is well-paved and the location is easy to explore on foot.

The beacon produces a distinctive flash pattern of three white flashes every 25 seconds, visible across a wide distance over the water. This specific pattern allows sailors to clearly identify it from other lights in the region.
