Ochiishi Misaki Lighthouse, White and red lighthouse on Cape Ochiishi, Hokkaido, Japan.
The lighthouse stands on a cliff at the southern end of Cape Ochiishi, connected by a wooden boardwalk through a forest of Sakhalin spruces.
The maritime facility was built near ancient Jomon Period settlements, where archaeological excavations discovered dwellings and shell mounds dating from 14,000 BCE.
Artist Ryoji Ikeda established an art gallery in the former radiotelegraph station near the lighthouse, organizing annual printmaking collaborations every August.
The walk to the lighthouse takes 30 minutes along a designated path where visitors frequently encounter Yezo sika deer in their natural habitat.
The name Ochiishi derives from the Ainu word 'okcis', referring to the shape of the cape resembling the hollow at the base of a human neck.
