Unoosaki Lighthouse, Coastal lighthouse in Sōma, Japan

Unoosaki Lighthouse is a white cylindrical concrete tower standing along the Sōma coastline with a lantern room at its top. The structure serves as a navigation aid for vessels traveling through the waters off this part of Japan.

The lighthouse began operating in 1919 to guide ships through these waters, marking an important milestone in maritime safety for this coastal area. Since its establishment, it has assisted countless vessels navigating the region.

The structure holds status as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property of Japan due to its architectural and historical importance in maritime activities.

The lighthouse is visible from the nearby beach and can be viewed from outside, with the best views obtained from the coastal edge. The area is accessible for exploration, though visitors should take time to find the optimal viewing point.

The lighthouse was designed with an optical lens system to produce light visible across great distances, helping ships navigate even during poor weather conditions. This engineering solution has made it effective for maritime guidance over many decades.
