Hirakubosaki Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Ishigaki, Japan.
The Hirakubosaki Lighthouse stands 13.7 meters tall at the northernmost point of Ishigaki Island, featuring white and red stripes for enhanced visibility at sea.
Following its construction in 1965, the lighthouse has guided countless vessels through the waters surrounding the Ryukyu Islands, marking the southernmost navigation point.
The Japan Romantic Association acknowledged the lighthouse in 2016 by certifying it as a designated location for meaningful maritime experiences and ocean observations.
Visitors can reach the lighthouse via a 40-minute drive from Nannu Ishigaki Airport, with free parking facilities and basic amenities available on site.
The remote location of the lighthouse provides exceptional conditions for night sky observation, far from artificial light interference.
