Stroll while admiring Tsushima's symbol—the white limestone lighthouse

About this spot

The white limestone lighthouse standing at the northern tip of Tsushima is a historic stone lighthouse built in 1876 and has been selected as one of Japan's 50 Most Beautiful Lighthouses. The area surrounding the lighthouse is maintained as a park with expansive lawns, offering a refreshing, open view overlooking the Suo-Nada Strait. The interior of the lighthouse can be climbed, and at the top of the spiral staircase, a panoramic view of Tsushima and the Japan Sea unfolds. Before heading to the beach, get some exercise and enjoy a refreshing vista befitting the start of your journey.

Tips

The walk from the parking lot to the lighthouse is very short. Visiting the lighthouse interior requires a donation. The spiral staircase is narrow, so hold hands with small children while climbing. The park has few shaded areas, so don't forget a hat and water.

Best time to visit

About 45 minutes required. Early morning hours have gentle sunlight and excellent visibility for viewing the scenery.
