The Saikazaki Lighthouse opened an observation deck in August 2019. Just as I arrived the sun was setting and was in a great position. The energy from the sun and pouring sprinkling orange and red like colors in the sky and the sea, was the most dreamy color gradation!!

The Saikazaki Lighthouse is located at the entrance to the Setonaikai National Park, overlooking Awaji Island and Shikoku. It reminds me of the deep relationship between Japan and the sea that has continued since ancient times.
I heard that Saikazaki fishing port is called the Amalfi of Japan. I drove over to see the scene. The houses lined up along the steep terrain certainly looked like Amalfi. In fact, there are ports with this kind of terrain all over Japan, but it may be rare to see such a beautiful and dense scene. As we entered a narrow alley, we found an old man climbing up a steep staircase. He looked so strong and strong-legged that he didn’t seem to have any connection with the word “bedridden”. In the fishing village, there was a women’s clothing shop, a barber shop, a takoyaki (octopus dumpling) shop, and other nostalgic subjects with the atmosphere of the Showa era.

Love nature, travel, culture, text, film, and photography.
I did not expect Wakayama to have such a beautiful lighthouse that looks at the sea and the sunset.
Both the sights and the locals visiting are calm and laid back, so that people living in the same space are also at ease. 90% of the visitors are locals. This place to watch the sunset is surrounded by dwellings, and the location is quite remote, but we only go by bus. Even though the bus stop is a bit walking distance from the lighthouse, it is very nice to come here to watch the sunset quietly and feel the pace of life of the locals along the way.
Beautiful coastal scenery can be seen along the road.
Every few steps in this place, I feel the scenery is picturesque, I have the urge to take pictures, and I keep burning the film.
In the villages gathered on the hills, each house seems to have its own story. Walking step by step through the dwellings and getting close to the lives of the locals has become the meaning of my trip in recent years.
The lighthouse has 3 floors (including the underground floor), the second floor has seats for rest, and the third floor has the most open view.
The view from the height of the lighthouse.
Witness the flaming sun into the vast sea.
Looking back at the lighthouse on the return journey was another sight. The villages gathered on the hillside are neatly lined up, and look more like landscapes when viewed from a distance.

Ce sont deux quartiers splendides de la ville de Wakayama, que j’espère vraiment avoir le temps de découvrir plus avant la prochaine fois. Parsemés de temples, de monts, de ponts anciens, de plages, de phares, de divers points de vue et de villages de pêcheur, il y a de quoi explorer le coin pendant plusieurs jours. Je me suis contentée de visiter quelques temples, de faire quelques mini-randos en hauteur pour admirer la vue, de profiter de la plage en solo et de la vue sur la mer et de traverser toute la zone à vélo, le vent dans les cheveux (tout du moins en descente).
