Ōhamasaki Lighthouse, Maritime navigation landmark in Onomichi, Japan.

The white lighthouse structure includes three towers positioned on a wooden single-story building at the edge of Nabekari Strait, marking maritime routes.

Constructed in 1894 during the Meiji period, the lighthouse started as a tidal signal station before expanding its functions for maritime navigation.

The lighthouse earned recognition as a Civil Engineering Heritage site from the Japan Society of Civil Engineers, reflecting its architectural importance.

Located at 〒722-2101 in Onomichi City, the lighthouse stands 9.3 meters tall with a focal plane height of 18 meters, visible from 21 kilometers.

The light pattern alternates between three seconds of illumination and three seconds of darkness, guiding vessels through the 800-meter-wide Mekari Strait.
