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. It should be noted that since its construction and completion in 1958, Tokyo Tower has retained the title of tallest structure in Japan, after the demolition of LORAN-C masts in Iwo Jima in 1993 and that of OMEGA-station in 1998.
