Nyudozaki Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Oga Peninsula, Japan
The 27.9-meter tall white cylindrical lighthouse features black horizontal stripes and stands on a grassy cliff overlooking the Sea of Japan.
The original lighthouse was built in 1898, making it one of only two wooden lighthouses along the Sea of Japan coast in northern Japan.
The lighthouse sits near traditional fishing communities where the Namahage demon ritual masks represent an important part of local folklore.
Visitors can climb the lighthouse from early April through October 15th for 300 yen, while students under 13 and persons with disabilities enter free.
The lighthouse beam reaches 37 kilometers into the sea with 530,000 candela intensity and flashes every 15 seconds to guide maritime vessels.
