About Tanabe Takashi Kansaki Lighthouse
This concrete post lighthouse stands 8 meters tall and is painted white. It is attached to a 1-story concrete equipment room with a square base. The structure is located on a small islet at the entrance to Tanabe harbor in Japan's Wakayama Prefecture. It was once operational but has since been charted as a daybeacon. The site is open to visitors, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse defines the northern side of the Tanabe harbor entrance. Its accessibility at low tide makes the islet a point of interest for coastal exploration and photography.
