Notsukesaki Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in eastern Hokkaido, Japan.

Notsukesaki Lighthouse is a navigational structure on the northeastern coast of Hokkaido. The facility operates with automated systems that emit regular light signals to guide vessels through the Sea of Okhotsk waters.

The lighthouse was built during Japan's modernization period in the early 20th century to guide fishing vessels and commercial ships. Its construction was part of developing maritime infrastructure in this challenging northern region.

The lighthouse has served as a landmark for local communities whose lives have been shaped by the sea for generations. Its presence reflects how deeply maritime traditions are woven into daily life here.

The lighthouse operates year-round with automated systems, and visitors can view it from outside. The best time to visit is during drier weather, as the coast experiences strong winds and rapid weather changes.

This location sits at a critical point where three different seas meet, creating unusual current patterns. This makes navigation here particularly difficult and explains why this navigational structure is positioned at exactly this spot.
