Muza-chan's Gate to Japan

The tallest building in Japan... in 1964

Mon, July 19, 2010, by Muza-chan
Can you believe this? Some 40 years ago, with its 72 meters, the New Otani Hotel was the tallest building in Japan (Tokyo Tower being considered a structure, not a building).
The building opened in 1964, has 17 floors, and it remained the tallest building in Japan until 1968. The round structure at the top is a revolving restaurant.
