A comparison of Japan's five tallest buildings

Overview

Unlike other Asian countries with supertall skyscrapers exceeding 400 meters in height, Japan's skyscrapers are relatively shorter. Construction is difficult due to the high cost of labor and construction material; all buildings above 50 meters must also be as earthquake-proof as possible and adhere to other strict structural standards.

Tallest buildings

This list ranks Japanese skyscrapers that stand at least 190 metres (623 ft) tall, based on standard height measurement. This height includes spires and architectural details but does not include antenna masts. An equal sign (=) following a rank indicates the same height between two or more buildings. The "Year" column indicates the year in which a building was completed. Existing partially habitable structures are included for comparison purposes; however, they are not ranked.

Timeline of tallest buildings

Built in 1964 to correspond with the 1964 Summer Olympics, the Hotel New Otani Tokyo was Japan's tallest building until 1968.

This is a list of buildings that once held the title of tallest building in Japan. From its completion in 1958 and until the opening of the Tokyo Skytree in 2011, Tokyo Tower retained the title of tallest structure in Japan, aside from various guyed masts that were built in the 1960s and 1970s, later dismantled in the 1990s.
