What sort of lighthouse is Hinomisaki?
At 43.65 m from the ground to the top of the tower and 63.3 m above sea level, it is the tallest stone-built lighthouse in Japan. First lit in 1903, it is a national Important Cultural Property and one of the 100 historic lighthouses of the world chosen by the International Association of Marine Aids to Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities. The contrast between the white tower, the blue sky and the Sea of Japan is beautiful, and it is a popular spot for photographs.

You can climb inside to the observation gallery. A viewing donation of 300 yen is required for junior high school age and above; elementary school age and under is free. After 163 spiral steps you reach the gallery with a 360-degree panorama, and on clear days the Oki Islands can sometimes be seen to the north.

Hinomisaki has two free car parks, the first with 65 spaces and the second with 175. There is usually room even in busy periods, but we recommend arriving early when it is crowded.
What is the view from the gallery?
From the top gallery the Sea of Japan spreads out before you, and on clear days the Oki Islands can be seen to the north. Mountains run along to the south, giving a full 360-degree panorama. The view at sunset is especially beautiful.
Can I visit in a wheelchair?
The spiral staircase inside the lighthouse is difficult to manage in a wheelchair. You can still see the lighthouse from outside and enjoy the paths around it.
Are there other sights nearby?
Hinomisaki Shrine is within walking distance of the lighthouse. Fumishima island is known as a breeding ground for black-tailed gulls, and many arrive during the breeding season in April and May. The strange rock formations and cliffs cut by the Sea of Japan are another sight.
Are there any problems with the roads?
Part of Prefectural Route 29 (the Taisha-Hinomisaki road) was affected by a landslide in the past, but it has been open to all vehicles since December 2024. Please check with Shimane Prefecture and the relevant authorities for the latest road conditions.
