About Shichiri Ferry Lighthouse
Also known as: Shichiri Ferry (Atsuta-ku) (replica)
A square, traditional-style tower constructed of wood stands at 14 meters tall. This replica lighthouse was built in 1955, replacing an original structure dating to 1625. The original lighthouse served as part of a 17th-century postal network, guiding vessels carrying important messages. Though the main navigational light is no longer active, a decorative light occasionally shines after dark. The site is accessible to the public, offering a connection to early maritime communication.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is historically significant as a replica of a 17th-century structure that supported a postal network, predating modern communication systems and offering a tangible link to Japan's early maritime infrastructure.
