Shioyazaki Lighthouse

Interesting stop on the way to Iwaki

This lighthouse is also a museum. After a climb one reaches the lighthouse which is situated on a cape. As it is a museum one has to pay an entrance fee. The view from the top is worthwhile the climb.

The view from the lighthouse is good. It's my favorite place

It is a place where you can see a wonderful view. By the time you reach the lighthouse, you will climb the hill. There are many stairs, which is painful for me, who is nearly 55 years old, but I was tired of seeing the wonderful view from the lighthouse. You can also walk up to the lighthouse. I was able to see 360 views of the sea and land. The weather was nice on this day, and I thought I could see all the beautiful colors of nature, the blue of the sky and the sea, the white of the waves, the green of the mountains. Great ...

Hibari no Shioya no Mikoto

Original Text

It is a chalk lighthouse standing on a cliff 73m above sea level on the Usuiso coast. It was opened in 1899 and is one of the only 16 "climbing lighthouses" nationwide. This lighthouse became famous for the lyrics "Cape of Shioya" of the late Hibari Misora's masterpiece "Midare Hair". From the relationship, I was asked, "Do you know the cape of Hibari Shioya?" A monument of "Midare Hair" is erected in the square at the entrance of the lighthouse, and the song of Miss Hibari is playing.

天気次第ですが、晴れていれば最高の眺望です

訪れた日は快晴でしたので３６０度最高の眺望が楽しめました。 灯台の上からはかなり遠くの水平線まで望めます。週末でも空いており、快晴の青空を写す青い海を思う存分堪能出来ました。 駐車場からの階段、灯台に登るにも階段がありますが、苦労？する甲斐は十分あると思います。

眺めが最高

冬の晴れ間に訪問しました。 小名浜で昼食を取り塩屋崎の灯台へ移動、カーナビの指示に従って運転していたのですが、右折する交差点を見逃し遠回りしましたが何とか到着。駐車場から少し階段を上りますが眺めは最高です。 季節外れのせいか、観光客はそれ程多くなく開放感がありました。
