The lighthouse is located at the northernmost tip of Amami Oshima Island, about 5 minutes up a steep mountain road from a road dead end.
The elevation is about 60 meters and the field of view is about 270 degrees, so the view from the lighthouse site is very good, offering a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean.
About 100 meters before the stairs to the lighthouse, there is a small plaza where there is a statue of a turtle, which is said to grant wishes, in accordance with the legend of the Dragon Palace that has been handed down in this area since ancient times.
The statue of the turtle is quite new and does not seem to have any history or history of its own.
The statue of the turtle, however, is quite new and does not seem to have any history or history.
I don’t feel that the statue will really grant wishes true.
