Japanology Plus - Season 5 Episode 14 Lighthouses
Exposed to the fury of waves and weather, lighthouses hold a cherished place in Japanese hearts.

This time on Japanology Plus, we cast light on the subtle appeal of lighthouses in Japan. Our guest is Mayuu Fudo, editor of a free magazine dedicated to the appeal of lighthouses. And in Plus One, memories of life as a lighthouse keeper.
