The tallest building in Japan
By Muza-chan on Oct 7, 2009 | In Japan travel | 14 feedbacks »
The tallest building in Japan is the Yokohama Landmark Tower (295.8 meters), Minato Mirai 21, Yokohama.

Tokyo Tower is 332.5 meters tall, but it is not a building, so it is considered the tallest artificial structure.
The Tokyo Sky Tree, currently in construction, will be ready in December 2011 and will be 610.5 meters tall, but it is also not considered as building, so the Yokohama Landmark Tower will remain Japan’s tallest building.
Landmark Tower also holds the record of the tallest hotel in Japan, because the Yokohama Royal Park Hotel occupies the 49th to 70th floors.

The elevator from the Landmark Tower is the second in the world regarding the speed (after the elevator Taipei 101), the trip from the first floor to the 69th taking just 40 seconds.

Lets just hope and pray that these structures and everybody will survive seeing there's that typhoon heading towards Japan. But those are very impressive buildings to say the least.:thumb: And then to have an elevator that goes from the 1st. floor to the 69th in 40 sec. is another incredible feat. I've never been on one that fast.

love your blog by the way...If i haven't said so already
@whipcracker: Don't worry about this typhoon, those buildings are built taking much more into consideration. I was in Tokyo 2 years ago, during a similar typhoon, and the next morning just some fallen bicycles and flowerpots remembered the storm. It is dangerous just on the countryside...
Technically... "The tallest building in Japan", but still very impressive :-) [link to post] (via @LuciF) - Posted using Chat Catcher
