The tallest building in Japan... in 1964

Mon, July 19, 2010

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.
