List of tallest structures in Japan



Japan has more than 300 high-rise buildings above 150 m. Unlike other Asian countries with skyscrapers exceeding 400 m in height, Japan's skyscrapers are relatively shorter. Construction is difficult due to the high cost of labour and construction material, as well as legal height restrictions (as in many other developed countries); all buildings above 50 m must also be as earthquake-proof as possible and adhere to other strict structural standards.

The tallest building in Japan is currently the 325.5 m tall Azabudai Hills Mori JP Tower, located in the Toranomon district of Tokyo. The 390 m Torch Tower is set to be completed in 2027 as the country's new tallest building.

Completed
This list ranks Japanese skyscrapers that stand at least 190 m 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.


 * = Indicates buildings that have the same rank because they have the same height.
 * A. This structure is not a fully habitable building, but is included in this list for comparative purposes. Per a ruling by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, freestanding observation towers or chimneys are not considered to be buildings, as they are not fully habitable structures.

Under construction
This lists buildings that are under construction in Japan and are planned to rise at least 190 m. Any buildings that have been topped out but are not completed are also included.

Proposed
This lists buildings that are proposed for construction in Japan and are planned to rise at least 190 m.

Timeline of tallest buildings
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.

Tallest demolished buildings
Buildings are demolished or desconstruction in Japan above "100m"
