Kashinosaki Lighthouse, Stone lighthouse in Kushimoto, Japan
The white stone and concrete lighthouse stands 14.6 meters tall on the eastern cliff of Oshima island, providing guidance to vessels in the Pacific Ocean.
Built in 1870 by British engineer Richard Henry Brunton, this structure marks the first stone lighthouse constructed during Japan's modernization period of the Meiji era.
The lighthouse grounds contain naturalized daffodils, planted by British engineers who maintained the facility during its early operational years in the 19th century.
Visitors can access the lighthouse grounds via a 37-minute bus ride or 20-minute taxi journey from JR Kushimoto Station, with free parking for 84 vehicles.
The lighthouse witnessed the 1890 maritime disaster of Turkish warship Ertugrul, leading to a lasting diplomatic connection between Japan and Turkey.
