Lighthouses

Can anyone give me sources/links for information on Japanese lighthouses (in English)? I'm looking for photos too, more in the old style of lighthouse rather than the newer, steel versions.

Thanks!

hello ( why do you want that??)

here are some links

Fair question. When I visit Shimonoseki this summer, I thought since North Carolina has a number of very, old lighthouses on our coast, this subject would help me relate where I live to where I'm visiting. I'd already found those two web pages, but thanks for trying.

Lighthouses are very unique around here: http://nc_lighthouses.tripod.com/
I was wondering if Japanese lighthouses share that uniqueness.
