Nojimazaki Lighthouse

Nojimazaki Lighthouse stands at the southernmost tip of the Boso Peninsula, first lit in 1870 and designed by French engineer Verny, making it one of Japan's oldest Western-style lighthouses. You can climb the octagonal white tower for wide views over Tokyo Bay and the Pacific. The surrounding park has walking paths along rocky coastal edges, a flower garden with poppies and marigolds in spring and summer, and benches facing the ocean. The area stays frost-free through winter thanks to its mild climate. It rounds off a Boso Peninsula drive well, especially combined with fresh seafood at one of the nearby port restaurants.
