Lighthouses of Northern Hokkaido

Hokkaido is the northernmost of the four main islands of Japan. It is very roughly triangular in shape, facing north on the Sea of Okhotsk, southeast on the Pacific Ocean, and west on the Sea of Japan. It is separated from Honshu to the south by the Tsugaru Strait and from Russian Sakhalin to the north by the La Pérouse or Soya Strait. The entire island forms a single prefecture, which is easily the largest prefecture of Japan. This page covers lighthouses of the north coast of Hokkaido. It includes lighthouses facing the Soya (La Pérouse) Strait and the Sea of Okhotsk. In Japanese, the word for a lighthouse is toudai. The words saki and misaki are for capes and headlands, shima (also spelled sima or jima) is an island, wan is a bay, and ko is a harbor. Lighthouses in Japan are operated and maintained by the Japanese Coast Guard's Maritime Safety Agency. ARLHS numbers are from the ARLHS World List of Lights. JP numbers are the Japanese Coast Guard's light list numbers. Admiralty numbers are from volume F of the Admiralty List of Lights & Fog Signals. U.S. NGA List numbers are from Publication 112.

Lighthouses of Japan has a closeup, a 2006 photo is available, Misty's Tour has a page with a nighttime view, the lighthouse is #3 on the Coast Guard station's page, and Google has a fine satellite view. This is one of Japan's oldest and most historic light stations. The original lighthouse, a hexagonal pyramidal tower with a small lantern, was built by the British engineer Richard Henry Brunton only four years into the reign of the reform emperor Meiji. The second lighthouse, a round cylindrical cast iron tower with a first-order lantern, is seen in a postcard view posted by Klaus Huelse. Cape Nosappu (or Nemuro) is the northeastern tip of Hokkaido and the easternmost point of Japan's major islands. Located on the point of the cape, a razor-thin promontory nearly surounded by water. Site open, tower closed. ARLHS JAP-431; JP-0154; Admiralty F6840; NGA 0448.

Nosappu Misaki (Nemuro) Light; Japanese Coast Guard photo

Kaigara Shima (Shell Island)

1937. Sometimes active, it seems; focal plane 17 m (56 ft); white light, 1.5 s on, 3.5 s off. 17 m (56 ft) round cylindrical concrete tower with lantern and gallery. Two photos show the isolated location of this lighthouse, Lighthouse Explorer also has a distant photo, and Google has a satellite view. This is a gravely endangered waveswept lighthouse. Kaigara Shima is a shoal, underwater at high tide, halfway between Cape Nosappu and the nearest island of the Kurils, only 7 km (4.5 mi) away. Obviously, it is a major hazard to navigation through this narrow strait. But the Kurils are occupied by Russia, and the territorial dispute has prevented the Maritime Safety Agency from rebuilding the lighthouse. The tower has a significant lean and could fall at any time, but the Agency struggles to keep a light lit somewhere on the tower. Located 3.6 km (2.25 mi) northeast of Cape Nosappu. Accessible only by boat; there is a distant view from the cape. Site and tower closed. ARLHS JAP-209; JP-0155; Admiralty F6842; NGA 0452.
