This picture was found among my fathers's WW 2 pictures.  I am just guessing it is a lighthouse because of the top.  He was in the Navy and served during the battle of Okinawa.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've look into different sources - seems all Japanese lighthouses in Okinawa were destroyed during WW2. But all old LH in Japan have a classic shape, nothing similar to what's on the picture. Also i have some doubts that there is a lantern on top - maybe this is kind of observation deck, so this is a watch tower etc?
Best regards,
Dmitry
