Shirasu Lighthouse (白州灯台, shirasu tōdai) is a lighthouse on the island of Ainoshima, which is administered by Kokurakita-ku, Kitakyūshū, Japan. Work began in March 1872.[5] The permanent light was lit 1 September 1873. It was one of the lighthouses designed by Richard Henry Brunton, who was hired by the government of Japan to help construct lighthouses to make coastal waters safe for foreign ships to approach, after Japan opened up to the West.[6]
