Ōbaehana Lighthouse, Navigation lighthouse in Hirado, Japan.

The white lighthouse tower rises above the coastal cliffs at coordinates 33.4398 North and 129.4304 East, marking the maritime route for vessels.

The construction of Ōbaehana Lighthouse in 1958 marked an advancement in maritime safety for vessels navigating through the waters near Hirado island.

The lighthouse reflects Japanese maritime engineering practices of the 1950s, incorporating traditional architectural elements with modern navigation technology.
