Kannonsaki Lighthouse

Located on the eastern tip of the Miura Peninsula, Japan's first Western lighthouse was designed by the French engineer, Verney, in 1868, and was lit in 1869. The original lighthouse is said to have been an elegant structure with a light tower on the roof made of bricks from the Yokosuka Steel Works.
