YOKOHAMA LANDMARK TOWER

Yokohama Landmark Tower is the tallest building in Japan. Yokohama Landmark Tower features a great observation deck.

Yokohama Landmark Tower (横浜ランドマークタワー ,Yokohama Randomāku Tawā) is the tallest building in Japan, standing 295.8 m (970 ft) high. It is located in the Minato Mirai 21 district of Yokohama city, right next to Yokohama Museum of Art. Work on the building was finished in 1993.

The building contains a five star hotel which occupies floors 49-70. The lower 48 floors contain shops, restaurants, clinics, and offices. The building contains two tuned mass dampers on the (hidden) 71st floor on opposite corners of the buildings.

On the 69th floor there is an observatory, Sky Garden, from which one can enjoy a 360-degree view of the city, and on clear days Mount Fuji (admission ¥1,000).  Alternatively, try the cocktail lounge on the 70th floor (¥1,000 cover, drinks ¥1000+ each) or eat dinner on the 68th floor.

The tower contains the world's second fastest elevator, which reaches speeds of 12.5 m (41 ft) per second (45.0 km/h, 28.0 mi/h). This speed allows the elevator to reach the 69th floor in approximately 40 seconds.

The building was designed by Hugh Stubbins and Associates, now KlingStubbins.
