Inubohsaki Lighthouse is a white tower rising at the tip of the vigorous Inuboh Promontory. This first-rankWestern style lighthouse was constructed by Richard Henry Brunton, an English architect, in 1874, being the 24th lighthouse in Japan.
The lighthouse has a tall tower (31.57 meters) ranking second among the brick buildings existing in Japan and emits a light of 2 million candelas in luminous intensity via first-class four lenses. It is a lighthouse second to none in Japan both in name and reality.
