Lighthouse · Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands
Japanese Lighthouse
The tower was first lit in 1934 and no longer serves as a light for ships. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Dark since the Battle of Saipan in 1944, the concrete tower on Navy Hill above Garapan was restored in 2021 and is now a café with views over the lagoon.

Above water and inside the horizon from American Memorial Park, Garapan, 1.6 km (1.0 mi) away, so on a clear day it can be seen from there, and CoastFinder puts a label on it.
