Hiyori Mountain Light Station
Otaru Travel Guide 2023
The BEST Things to Do in Otaru, Japan｜Otaru Day Trip
Hiyori Mountain Light Station, one of Otaru's most popular scenic spots, is a two-tone red and white lighthouse located on Takashima Cape in Shukutsu, Otaru City.
This historic lighthouse was the second lighthouse to be lit in Hokkaido after Cape Nosappu Lighthouse in 1881, and was constructed as a wooden hexagonal white lighthouse at that time.
In 1953, it was reconstructed as a concrete structure, and in 1968, it was painted in the same two-tone red and white color as today.
The height from the ground to the top of the light is 10.2 meters, and from the sea level to the light is 49.8 meters.
The light reaches a distance of 19.0 nautical miles (about 35.2 km).
The lighthouse was used for the filming of the movie "Years of Joy and Sorrow," which was shown in 1957.
Although the lighthouse is currently closed to the public, the view from the observatory, located a short distance away, is spectacular and has been featured in tourist brochures and magazines.
