Our guide

Nyūdōzaki Lighthouse stands at the north-western tip of the Oga Peninsula, in the city of Oga, Akita. Our source says nothing more than that, so this page is short.

Oga Peninsula is about 200 m from the point we map. We have not checked whether the lighthouse can be climbed, its hours or a public-transport route.
