This red, 9-meter concrete post functions as a lighthouse, situated at the end of the north breakwater in Wakkanai, Japan.

The structure stands 11 meters above sea level. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed. It is located 0.7 kilometers from the nearest port at Wakkanai.
