Note that there is a fence behind the lighthouse as shown in the map with red line. Many signboards on the fence are saying "no trespassing". There are some kinds of facility behind the fence, but the creator of this website has not confirm what the facilities are. It would be better for a tourist not to get inside of the facilities.

The first lighthouse was built in 1919 after the shipwreck in December 1914 in which 30 and some people died. The ship "Matsushima-Maru" was on the way to Hokkaido from Noto, stranded nearby rocky sea shore. The current lighthouse was built in 1990. It is remote-controlled so no one is stationed there. This lighthouse was used as the story scene of famous movie "Yorokobi-mo Kanashimi-mo Ikutoshitsuki" in 1957¹⁾.
