Osezaki Lighthouse
大瀬埼灯台
A white lighthouse on a sea cliff about 100 meters high at the westernmost tip of Fukue Island, and the classic sunset viewpoint of the Goto Islands.
Osezaki Lighthouse stands at the westernmost tip of Fukue Island, rising above a sea cliff roughly 100 meters high on the East China Sea. It was one of the last pieces of land that envoy ships to Tang China saw before leaving Japan. The lighthouse itself is not open to visitors, but you can view it and the layered cliffs from the observation deck at Osezaki Park, where the sunset is especially beautiful. The path from the observation deck to the lighthouse is steep and takes about an hour round trip, so if your energy is limited, simply enjoy the view from the deck. It is about 1 hour by car from Fukue Port, and the roads are narrow and winding.
