Aharen Lighthouse

Also known as: Toudaishita · Under the lighthouse · アハレン灯台下 (Japanese)

The rock below the lighthouse is cut by crevices and tunnels, and the light filtering into them creates a striking show on sunny days. The caves and arches hold soldierfish, bigeyes and other creatures that live in holes. Marine Diving web notes a spawning ground of broadclub cuttlefish where egg-laying and hatching can be observed. Because it lies on the south side of Tokashiki, the site is sheltered from the winter monsoon and can be dived all year.
