Kinkasan Lighthouse (金華山灯台 kinkasan tōdai) is a lighthouse on Kinkasan, an island on the Oshika Peninsula in Ishinomaki, Miyagi, Japan.
The lighthouse was designed by Richard Henry Brunton as part of the effort by the government in Japan during the Meiji period to modernize the country. In 1945, it was destroyed by air raids. It was later reconstructed.
