JAPAN - LIGHTHOUSES

Ashizuri Lighthouse

 

Cape Ashizuri is the southernmost point of the island of Shikoku, Japan. The cape is a part of the Ashizuri-Uwakai National Park and the cliffs here featuring a sparkling white lighthouse are a popular sightseeing point. The small town of Ashizuri lies just north of the cape, at the intersection of two highways. The cape is only a few kilometers away and easily reached on foot along a seaside walking path.  The Ashizuri lighthouse was built in 1914.
