Katsuura Lighthouse Grounds Open Day

About this event

The grounds of Katsuura Lighthouse will be open to the general public on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of every month. This is a rare opportunity to view the sea of Katsuura from the foot of the lighthouse, an area usually inaccessible. While viewing the white lighthouse up close, you can gaze upon spectacular vistas of the Pacific Ocean and Katsuura Undersea Park. First lit in 1917 and standing 21 meters tall, Katsuura Lighthouse continues to illuminate the southeastern part of the Boso Peninsula today. During this event, visitors may tour the grounds, but entering inside the lighthouse is not permitted. Open hours are 9:00 to 15:00, and the event will be cancelled in case of stormy weather. Since the lighthouse has no parking lot, visitors arriving by car can park at the Uemura Memorial Park / Kangunzuka parking lot, approximately a 10-minute walk away, or walk approximately 30 minutes from JR Katsuura Station.
