観音埼灯台
Beautiful Lighthouses
Nestled at the tip of the Miura Peninsula, Japan's illustrious lighthouse stands as a sentinel over Tokyo Bay. Built in 1869, it holds the honour of being the first Western-style lighthouse in the country, designed under the guidance of British engineer Richard Henry Brunton. Although rebuilt after being destroyed in an earthquake, its iconic white cylindrical structure continues to charm visitors with its nostalgic aura. Surrounded by lush greenery and scenic views, this historic beacon is more than just a guiding light; it is a beautiful testament to Japan's embrace of modern navigation during the Meiji Restoration.
