Cape Irago Lighthouse

伊良湖岬灯台

Aichi · Chubu

A 1929-built lighthouse at the tip of the Atsumi Peninsula, one of Japan's 'Top 50 Lighthouses', with a sweeping view over the Pacific, Ise Bay, and Mikawa Bay meeting point.

Why we picked it

Southernmost tip of Aichi, a genuine edge-of-the-map destination with almost no foreign visitors despite dramatic tri-bay views.
