Kattoshimisaki Lighthouse, Maritime beacon in Hokuto, Japan
The white lighthouse rises 15.8 meters above the Kattoshi-Misaki cape, projecting light signals visible from 17.5 nautical miles at sea.
The fourth oldest lighthouse in Hokkaido commenced operations on December 15, 1885, following a week-long installation of illumination equipment.
The lighthouse represents Japan's maritime heritage and serves as a critical navigation point for vessels traveling between Aomori Port and Hakodate Port.
Solar power systems installed in 1996 provide sustainable energy for the automated lighthouse operations, eliminating the need for permanent staff.
The structure contains a third-order Fresnel lens manufactured by French company Barbier and Fenestre, making it the only lighthouse in Japan with this specification.
