Olivine's Lighthouse (Japanese: アサギのとうだいAsagi Lighthouse), also known as the Glitter Lighthouse (Japanese: かがやきのとうだいRadiance Lighthouse), is a location in Johto.
It is here that Trainers will first find Jasmine, the Olivine Gym Leader, from a hint by their rival. Amphy is an Ampharos who serves as a beacon for the Lighthouse. Recently, Amphy has become ill, and Jasmine, nurturing Amphy to health, will not leave for any reason until Amphy is cured. She asks the player if they will travel across the sea to nearby Cianwood City to get a SecretPotion, then bring it back to her.
In Generation IV, Gentleman Preston and Lass Connie are actually Trainers from the Gym, and will return there once Amphy has been cured. Also in Generation IV, once the player has spoken to her, Jasmine opens a door for them leading to an elevator that goes from the top floor directly back to the bottom.
Trainers with a telephone symbol by their names will give their Pokégear number to the player, and may call or be called for a rematch with higher-level Pokémon.

The Glitter Lighthouse, known as the "Shining Lighthouse" in the English dub, remains an important landmark and a popular tourist attraction in Olivine City. However, a neighboring electric lighthouse now does most of its work. An Ampharos has historically been the light source, and this tradition continues under Myron's watch.
In Fight for the Light!, Ash and his friends ventured over to the Shining Lighthouse so Ash could challenge Jasmine to a Gymbattle. However, Jasmine was too concerned about her Ampharos, Sparkle, because it was ill. Team Rocket showed up on the scene and in their scheme to capture Sparkle, but were foiled by Janina and her Onix. Ash and his friends agreed to join Janina in traveling to Cianwood City to get medicine for Sparkle. They obtained the medicine in the following episode, and Janina returned to Olivine City with it, while Ash's group decided they would travel through the Whirl Islands first.
In Throwing in the Noctowl!, the light of the Shining Lighthouse helped Wings Alexander through the thick fog and avoid crashing his plane, which had Ash's group and Team Rocket aboard, into the Olivine sea cliffs. Janina, Jasmine, and a fully recovered Sparkle waved from the Shining Lighthouse as the plane corrected its course.
Jasmine makes a reference to this lighthouse when she meets the player in Sunyshore City. She says that one of the reasons Sunyshore reminds her of Olivine is because it has a tall lighthouse like her hometown.
