Introducing Yomitanson's popular sightseeing spots!
This time: Zanpa Lighthouse

The cape juts far out into the East China Sea, and its sheer cliffs of uplifted coral reef reach 30 to 40 meters high and stretch for two kilometers, creating a dramatic scenic spot.

Zanpa Lighthouse is one of only 16 lighthouses in Japan that visitors can climb, and it is the only climbable lighthouse on Okinawa Island.
The view from the top of the lighthouse is truly breathtaking!

In 2019 it was recognized by the “Lighthouses of Love Project” as a lighthouse befitting a romance spot.
In 2023 it gained new appeal through personification under the “Guardians of the Light Project.”

Great news! The samurai seal of Gosamaru, who is said to have built both Nakagusuku Castle and Zakimi Castle, is now being offered for sale!! The Gosamaru depicted on the seal reflects his historical background. The seal sold at Zakimi Castle shows Gosamaru in his youth, while the seal sold at Nakagusuku Castle shows Gosamaru in old age! Place the two seals side by side and you can stamp the family crest of the Ke clan of Tomigusuku in the center, thanks to a built-in feature! (The Ke clan of Tomigusuku is the family line said to descend from Gosamaru!) Please be sure to purchase one when you visit Zakimi Castle or Nakagusuku Castle!!
