About this spot
Inubosaki Lighthouse stands on Cape Inubo, jutting into the Pacific at the tip of Choshi City in Chiba Prefecture. Completed in the 7th year of Meiji (1874) to a design by the British engineer Brunton, it has been selected as one of the 100 Best Lighthouses of the World and one of Japan's 50 Lighthouses, and is designated a nationally Important Cultural Property. The greatest appeal of this spot is the view from the observation deck. Climb the 99-step spiral staircase and a Pacific panorama awaits, with an unobstructed horizon where you can feel the curve of the Earth. The vast ocean seen in the sea breeze is stunning, and you will be filled with a sense of freedom that makes you forget daily life. Nearby are a photo spot featuring a distinctive white post and Inubo Terrastellas, where you can enjoy local specialties, so you can combine strolling and dining. Enjoy the view quietly alone, take photos while walking with friends, or learn history with family. It is a scenic spot perfect for a weekend refresh, reachable as a day trip from central Tokyo.
