The tallest building in Japan

Wed, October 7, 2009, by Muza-chan
Update:
This article dates from 2009. Since then, the Yokohama Landmark Tower is no longer the tallest building in Japan. Now, the tallest building in Japan is Abeno Harukas, in Osaka

The tallest building in Japan is the Yokohama Landmark Tower (296.3 meters), Minato Mirai 21, Yokohama.

Yokohama Minato Mirai

Tokyo Tower is 332.5 meters tall, but it is not a building, so it is considered the tallest artificial structure.
The Tokyo Sky Tree, in construction, will be ready in December 2011 and will be 610.5 meters tall, but it is also not considered as building, so the Yokohama Landmark Tower will remain Japan’s tallest building.

Landmark Tower also holds the record of the tallest hotel in Japan, because the Yokohama Royal Park Hotel occupies the 49th to 70th floors.

The elevator from the Landmark Tower is the second in the world regarding the speed (after the elevator Taipei 101), the trip from the first floor to the 69th taking just 40 seconds.

Tokyo Tower are 332,5 metri înălţime, dar nu este o clădire, aşa că este considerat a fi cea mai înaltă structură artificială.

Din acelaşi motiv, şi după ce se va termina construcţia lui Tokyo Sky Tree, în decembrie 2011, care va avea 610,5 metri înălţime, Yokohama Landmark Tower va rămâne cea mai înaltă clădire din Japonia.

Landmark Tower mai deţine încă un record: hotelul aflat la cea mai mare înălţime din Japonia. Este vorba de Yokohama Royal Park Hotel care ocupă etajele 49-70.

Liftul din Landmark Tower se află pe locul al doilea din lume ca viteză (după cel din Taipei 101), fiind necesare doar 40 s până la etajul 69.
