Kurosaki Lighthouse, selected as one of Japan's Top 50 Lighthouses, is located in Fudai Village, Iwate Prefecture. Situated on a 130-meter-high coastal terrace within the Kurosaki area, this white lighthouse offers scenic views of the Pacific Ocean. Visitors can explore the surrounding area, which includes the 40th parallel north monument and remnants of a former artillery battery. Note that reaching the lighthouse involves descending a staircase, and the return trip is uphill. The best time to visit is in the autumn for clear views, as summer often brings fog.
