yokohama marine tower

what. lighthouse visited (30 September 2017)

where. Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan

remarks. Despite claims of being “the tallest lighthouse in the world”, its status as the tallest, and if it is even a lighthouse, is open for debate. Apparently, there is a couple of other navigational light-bearing structures that are taller, and although it carried navigational lights, it was not built with the sole intent of being a lighthouse.

note. Japanese for lighthouse: 灯台 (tōdai)
