List of tallest structures in Japan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Japan has more than 300 high-rise buildings above 150 m (490 ft).[1] Unlike other Asian countries with skyscrapers exceeding 400 m (1,300 ft) in height, Japan's skyscrapers are relatively shorter. Construction is difficult due to the high cost of labour and construction material, as well as legal height restrictions (as in many other developed countries); all buildings above 50 m (160 ft) must also be as earthquake-proof as possible and adhere to other strict structural standards.
The tallest building in Japan is currently the 325.5 m (1,068 ft) tall Azabudai Hills Mori JP Tower, located in the Toranomon district of Tokyo.[2][3][4] The 390 m (1,280 ft) Torch Tower is set to be completed in 2027 as the country's new tallest building.[5][6]
