Nosappumisaki Lighthouse, Maritime guidance structure at Cape Nosappu, Nemuro, Japan
The white cylindrical concrete tower rises 13.5 meters above Cape Nosappu, featuring a balcony and lantern visible from the surrounding waters.
Richard Henry Brunton designed this maritime beacon in 1872 to enhance navigation safety for foreign vessels during Japan's Meiji period modernization.
The lighthouse forms part of the 50 Lighthouses in Japan collection, marking the development of maritime infrastructure in the Hokkaido region.
The light source operates with a focal height of 23.2 meters and produces white flashes every four seconds, reaching 14.5 nautical miles.
The structure includes a fog signal system that emits three distinct blasts every 40 seconds to guide ships through low visibility conditions.
