Old Fukura Lighthouse

Travel / Tourism

Ishikawa Hakui-gun Shikamachi Fukurako

This lighthouse stands on a precipitous cliff called known as Hiyoriyama. The lighthouse’ origins are said to stretch back to 1608 when a man called Hino Sukenobu who lived in Fukura would light bonfires at night to guide ships operating on the dark sea. The current, extant lighthouse was built in 1876. A stone-paved path leads to the lighthouse, and an old-fashioned atmosphere still hangs in the air over the nearby fishing port. The square, five-meter-tall, three-story wooden lighthouse is Japan’s oldest extant wooden lighthouse. The lighthouse is specially illuminated at night in the summer and winter.
Rokkosaki Lighthouse

Travel / Tourism

Ishikawa Pref. Suzushi Noroshimachi

Famous for being a place where you can see the sun rise over the ocean and set over the ocean, the Rokkosaki Lighthouse is on the northernmost tip of Noto Peninsula, located at the nexus of the inner and outer bays. It is a chalk lighthouse built in the Meiji period—one still active today. As an unmanned lighthouse, the Rokkosaki Lighthouse is only open to the public a few times each year.

Ishikawa Areas

Long, thin Ishikawa prefecture runs along the Sea of Japan up into Noto Peninsula. Highlights of the seaside towns lining the west coast include Kanazawa, often described as a "Little Kyoto" thanks to its old wooden tea houses and geisha culture as well as its picturesque Japanese garden, Kenroku-en.
