It was built in 1929 at the southernmost tip of Miyazaki Prefecture. The lighthouse was originally lit by an oil lamp, but in 1945 it was lit with electricity. At 3 million candelas, it had the highest luminescence of anywhere in Asia at the time. It was rebuilt in concrete after being hit by World War II air raids and by a typhoon later the same year. It's the only lighthouse in Kyushu that can be entered, and along with enjoying the view, visitors can learn about maritime navigation symbols and signs.
