Maisaka Lighthouse, Concrete lighthouse in Hamamatsu, Japan

The white cylindrical tower rises 28 meters above the east entrance of Hamana Lake, with a conical roof covering the navigation lantern.

The Maritime Safety Agency built this structure in 1964 to modernize coastal navigation systems during Japan's period of maritime expansion.

The lighthouse represents the continuous maritime traditions of Japan, where navigational structures have guided vessels for over twelve centuries.

Located 12 kilometers southwest of central Hamamatsu, the lighthouse emits two white flashes every 20 seconds to guide ships entering Hamana Lake.

The tower's design includes a distinctive flare near its top section, setting it apart from other concrete lighthouses of the same period.
