Hi Pete! I did some research on this topic. There are number of "dunce cap" lighthouses in Japan (i.e.
Hiroshima, Fujisawa, Hakata Kō - most of them were build after 1950s)
I would say likely this picture is Yokohama South Outer Breakwater (built 1939).
Here are some other pictures of it:
LH Japan
yamatae.sakura.ne.jp



It has slightly different configuration of windows (but this could be due to tower reconstruction) but general shape of the tower, breakwater and square building nearby - everything is very similar. As far as I've found in internet -  American troops were landed in Yokohama after surrender of Japan so this fits to story as well.

Agreed! It seems this could be different datums...

I bet this is something in Asia, Korea or Japan maybe. Any kind of information about picture could help!

Another option is Strumble Head which also has iron bridge connecting to mainland, but i think South Stack is much better candidate

South Stack in Wales looks similar - at least there is a bridge connecting the island with mainland

Any additional information available? I.e. age or region?

It seems here 43°25'12.2"N 4°53'24.2"E

This looks like coast guard tower for traffic monitoring.

Can you upload the picture to gallery? Here is the link https://www.lightphotos.net/photos/upload.php for uploading, just select album

Hi there! Just upload picture and indicate coordinates in the description, we will add this to the map, no problem!

ARLHS EGY-009 Burullus lighthouse, Egypt
G0342, São Thomé Lighthouse, Brazil

Thanks, this is very interesting information.

Quality really poor. I can't understand even shape of the tower, if it is rectangular or round
It seems it was somewhere by the beach, such towers often were destroyed due to erosion.
Will try to search something similar...

Nice one

Could this be https://www.lightphotos.net/photos/displayimage.php?pid=20977 King Carol I lighthouse ?
It was built in 1913
