Hennasaki Lighthouse, Lighthouse at Higashi-hennazaki cape, Miyakojima, Japan
The white lighthouse stands 24.5 meters tall at the edge of a narrow peninsula, between the Pacific Ocean and East China Sea.
The lighthouse began operating on March 27, 1967, following requests from local fishing communities concerned about maritime safety near the coast.
The structure belongs to the collection of 50 Lighthouses in Japan, marking the easternmost point of Miyakojima with its enduring presence.
Visitors can reach the lighthouse by following road number 83 and climbing to the observation deck for views extending 33 kilometers into the ocean.
The lighthouse rises above a limestone plateau where only small white lilies and sea lavender grow due to constant strong winds.
