Ishikari Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Hokkaido, Japan.
The white cylindrical tower of Ishikari Lighthouse rises 27 meters above the coastline where the Ishikari River meets the Sea of Japan.
Built in 1872 during the Meiji period, this navigation aid marked the beginning of Japan's maritime infrastructure modernization on the northern island of Hokkaido.
The lighthouse and surrounding Hamanasu no Oka Park represent the connection between maritime heritage and natural preservation in northern Japanese coastal communities.
Visitors can reach the lighthouse by public transportation or car, with the adjacent visitor center offering local products and educational displays about maritime navigation.
Due to natural coastal processes, the lighthouse now stands 1.5 kilometers inland from its original shoreline position, surrounded by native Hamanasu roses.
