Cape Erimo Lighthouse is a large white lighthouse that can be found overlooking the tip of Cape Erimo. The lighthouse was first lit in the Meiji Era on June 25, 1889. It was destroyed during a bombing raid on July 15, 1945 during World War II. It was then rebuilt on February 3, 1950 and continues to light the coast to this day. It was also selected as one of the best fifty lighthouses in Japan. Cape Erimo is a rugged and windy coastal area that is famous for its strong winds and fog. 

In this area, the warm and cold currents collide offshore, and sea fog is generated for about 100 days a year. You can often see the fog rolling in from the ocean. The lighthouse is a beacon for fishing boats and cargo ships sailing through the choppy waters around the cape. The lighthouse stands at 13.7 meters, and is 73.3 meters up from the sea level. The light reaches out 22.5 nautical miles, which is about 41 kilometers. There is a lot to see on Cape Erimo and is a must stop if driving through the area.
