Traveler highlights

Zanpa Lighthouse stands at the tip of Cape Zanpa in Yomitan Village. The white tower is about 30 meters tall; it was first lit in 1974 and opened to visitors in 2001. From the observation level, visitors can look out over the East China Sea and the cape’s cliffs. On clear days, Aguni, Tonaki, and Kume islands may also be visible, making the lighthouse easy to pair with a coastal walk.
