The Bansho Hana Lighthouse was built in 1955 on a cape of the same name in Wakayama Prefecture. This cylindrical concrete tower stands 8.5 meters tall and has a focal height of 37 meters. It rises from a small, single-story equipment room and features a gallery. The lighthouse emits a light with a geographic range of 16.6 nautical miles. While the site is open to visitors, the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse provides navigational guidance for local and regional shipping, marking a specific headland and contributing to maritime traffic safety in an active shipping region.
