Lighthouse in Fukushima shines once more
The Shioyasaki Lighthouse was illuminated on Nov. 30 for the first time since it was damaged in the March 11 Great East Japan Earthquake.
The lighthouse, which was opened on a promontory on the Fukushima coastline in 1899, is one of Iwaki’s most popular tourist attractions.
It was featured in the 1957 movie "Yorokobi mo Kanashimi mo Ikutoshitsuki" (Years of joy and sorrow), and is also featured in the 1987 song "Midaregami" (Disheveled hair) by Hibari Misora (1937-1989).
