History
[edit | edit source]This lighthouse was one of those designed by Richard Henry Brunton, who was hired by the government of Japan in the Meiji period to help construct lighthouses to make it safe for foreign ships to come to Japan following the opening of Japan to the West. Work began in June 1873.[3] It was first lit on 1 August 1875.
