Cape Irozaki

Rate this destination:

The calming Cape Irozaki has been on site for over 200 years. It was constructed by British Engineer Richard Henry Brunton.

When it got destroyed by an unexpected strong wind storm in 1932, it was immediately re-structured just 4 months after.

In 1993, when another re-structuring was done, the architectural approach that the management did saw an upgrade in lens and various materials.

The Irozaki Lighthouse, which is located in the cape, was highly praised in Japan Lighthouse Association's the "50 Lighthouses of Japan" piece.
