Kashinozaki Lighthouse (樫野埼灯台 kashinozaki tōdai ) is a lighthouse on the island of Kii Ōshima, which is administered by Kushimoto, Wakayama, Japan.
It was one of the lighthouses designed by Richard Henry Brunton, who was hired by the government of Japan in the Meiji period to help construct lighthouses in Japan to make it safe for foreign ships.
