Three concrete towers 136 metres tall standing in a triangle - a scale hard to credit for 1922, and still self-supporting.
About this place
The Hario Transmitting Station is a radio transmitting station built in 1922 (Taisho 11) by the Imperial Japanese Navy in Sakihario Village, former Higashisonogi District (now Hario, Sasebo, Nagasaki Prefecture). After the Second World War it continued to be operated until 1997 (Heisei 9) as a radio facility of the Maritime Self-Defense Force and the Japan Coast Guard. It is the only surviving, and the tallest, tower-shaped structure built in Japan in the Taisho era. It is designated an Important Cultural Property of Japan under the name "Former Sasebo Radio Telegraph Station (Hario Transmitting Station) Facilities."
