Knowing how the lighthouse has protected the safety of the Sea of Japan for over 100 years deepens the emotion when you look up at the actual lighthouse. Visiting along with the superb view from the top of the lighthouse is recommended. It's a spot that satisfies intellectual curiosity by learning about the technical power that supported Japan's modernization and the history of living with the sea.
