Iohji Lighthouse Museum, Nagasaki (長崎市 伊王島灯台記念館)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A park located on a highland just after crossing Iohji Bridge, consisting of a white lighthouse and museum building. The original Iohji Lighthouse is known as Japan's second-oldest Western-style lighthouse, and next to the current lighthouse stands a museum introducing the history of that era. From the grassy plaza, you can see the Iohji Bridge and blue sea—a view that heightens anticipation for the beach ahead. With lots of shade, it's relatively comfortable even on a summer morning. A perfect spot for strolling and taking commemorative photos, befitting the start of your day.

Tips

Just a few minutes' walk from the parking lot right after crossing Iohji Bridge. Don't forget your hat and water in summer. The observation area has some stone-paved sections, so pushing a stroller slowly is recommended.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour. Early morning hours offer pleasant conditions without overly intense sun for strolling.
