Kozushima Lighthouse

Kozushima Lighthouse

神津島灯台

Tokyo · Kanto

A compact white lighthouse first lit in 1922, perched on a cape at the southwestern tip of Kozushima with sweeping ocean views from a nearby observation platform. Cliffs, open sea and almost no man-made structures frame the scene.

Why it's hidden

It is an easy walk from the village yet most visitors never make the short cliff-top stroll out to it, especially at sunset.
