Our guide
Cape Inubō is a cape on the Pacific in Chōshi, Chiba, near the midpoint of the Japanese archipelago on Honshu. This page is for its lighthouse. Our source says little more than that, so this page is short, and we would rather say so than fill it out.
Inuboh Station is about 800 m from the point this page is mapped to, in a straight line. We have not checked whether the lighthouse can be visited, or its hours or fees, so check local information before you go.
