List of tallest structures in Tokyo GudangMovies21 Rebahinxxi LK21
Tokyo is the most populated of Japan's 47 prefectures. Mainland Tokyo is divided into two sections: Western Tokyo and the special wards of Tokyo. The prefecture's tallest structures are within the 23 special wards, which comprise the area formerly incorporated as Tokyo City. As of January 2025, there are over 200 structures in Tokyo that stand at least 150 metres tall (492 feet), of which 47 are at least 200 metres tall (656 feet), including those that are still under construction but have been topped out. Most of these structures are buildings; however, there are other types of structures among the tallest in the prefecture, such as freestanding towers and incineration smokestacks.
The tallest structure in the prefecture is Tokyo Skytree, a megatall lattice tower that rises 634 metres (2,080 feet), which was completed in 2012. It also stands as the tallest structure in Japan, the tallest tower in the world, and the third-tallest freestanding structure in the world. The second-tallest structure in Tokyo is the 333-metre-tall (1,092 feet) Tokyo Tower, a lattice tower completed in 1958. The tallest building and third-tallest overall structure is the 325-metre-tall (1,068 feet) Azabudai Hills Mori JP Tower, completed in 2023 and being Tokyo's only supertall skyscraper. It is also the tallest building in Japan and the world's largest skyscraper by floor area. Including topped-out buildings, Tokyo is home to 17 of the 25 tallest freestanding structures and 18 of the 25 tallest buildings in Japan.
As of January 2025, 32 skyscrapers are under construction in the prefecture (150 m or taller), with 11 planned to rise higher than 200 metres, including a supertall skyscraper—the 385-metre-tall (1,263 feet) Torch Tower—which is set to become the new tallest building in Tokyo and Japan upon completion in 2028.
History
Skyscrapers are a relatively recent phenomenon in Japan. Before World War II, the tallest buildings in Tokyo were the 69-metre-tall (225 feet) Ryōunkaku—severely damaged in the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake and subsequently demolished—and the 65-metre-tall (215 feet) National Diet Building. Due to aesthetic and engineering concerns, Japan's Building Standard Law set an absolute height limit of 31 metres (102 feet) until 1963, when the limit was abolished in favor of a floor area ratio limit. Following these changes in building regulations, the Kasumigaseki Building was constructed and completed in 1968. Double the height of Japan's previous tallest building—the 17-story Hotel New Otani Tokyo—the Kasumigaseki Building is regarded as Japan's first modern skyscraper, rising 36 stories and 156 metres (512 feet) in height.
A booming post-war Japanese economy and the hosting of the 1964 Summer Olympics helped lead to a building boom in Tokyo during the 1960s and 1970s. Tokyo pioneered the skyscraper construction boom in Asia (150 m or taller), with several of its skyscrapers holding the title of tallest building in Asia during those decades. Construction continued through the 1980s and 1990s as the Japanese asset price bubble rose and fell. Nishi-Shinjuku, a district within Shinjuku, was the prefecture's first major skyscraper development area. Starting with the construction of the Keio Plaza Hotel in 1971, the district is now home to 11 of Tokyo's 50 tallest skyscrapers. Other major skyscraper districts have since been developed, such as the ones around Tokyo Station, Shiodome, Toranomon, or Shibuya Station.
Tokyo has been the site of many skyscraper construction projects in recent years. Over the past decade, 16 buildings rising higher than 200 metres have been completed, of which 6 were completed since 2023. A total of 60 buildings standing at least 150 metres in height have been completed in the prefecture since 2014. Several other skyscraper construction projects have been proposed for the near future, as Tokyo is experiencing a "once-in-a-century" redevelopment boom.
This list ranks the 50 tallest skyscrapers in Tokyo, 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 that two or more buildings share the same height. The "Year" column indicates the year in which a building was completed. Freestanding towers, smokestacks, and other non-habitable or partially habitable structures are included for comparison purposes; however, they are not ranked. These structures are measured by pinnacle height, which includes masts.
= Tallest buildings in each ward or city
=
The tables below list the tallest buildings in each of the 23 special wards of Tokyo, as well as in cities of Western Tokyo with buildings that stand approximately 100 metres (330 feet) or taller. Non-habitable or partially habitable structures are included if they are the tallest structure in a ward or city.
= Demolished buildings
=
This table lists buildings in Tokyo that have been demolished and once rose approximately 100 metres (330 feet) or taller, based on standard height measurement. The "Year built" column indicates the year in which a building was completed, while the "Year demolished" column indicates the year in which demolition work was finished. Buildings currently being demolished are also included, as well as buildings that are planned to be demolished.
Tallest under construction, proposed, and canceled
The tables below list projects currently under construction, proposed for construction, and plans that have been canceled. The cut-off height used for all lists corresponds to the height of the last entry on the Tallest buildings list above. Visionary projects are excluded but can be found in the List of tallest structures envisioned for Tokyo.
= Under construction
=
This table lists buildings currently under construction in Tokyo that are planned to rise at least 193 metres (633 feet). Buildings that have been topped out but are not yet completed are also included. A total of 32 skyscraper projects planned to rise at least 150 metres (490 feet) are underway in Tokyo, as of January 2025.
= Proposed
=
This table lists buildings that are proposed for construction in Tokyo and are expected to rise at least 193 metres (633 feet). Several other skyscraper projects planned to rise at least 150 metres (490 feet) have been proposed.
= Canceled
=
This table lists construction projects that have been canceled and were expected to rise at least 193 metres (633 feet).
Timeline of tallest buildings
This is a list of buildings that once held the title of tallest building in Tokyo. Currently, the title belongs to Azabudai Hills Mori JP Tower. However, the tallest structure is Tokyo Skytree. Since its completion in 2012, it has been the tallest structure in Tokyo as well as in Japan, overtaking Tokyo Tower.
This list ranks Tokyo structures, including freestanding towers, smokestacks, and other non-habitable or partially habitable structures that stand at least 193 metres (633 feet) tall, based on standard height measurement. This height includes spires, architectural details, and antenna masts, corresponding to the pinnacle height. The "Year" column indicates the year in which a structure was completed.
Buildings are included only if their total height, including non-habitable structures like masts or lattice towers, is 193 metres or more, but their architectural or rooftop height without such additions does not meet the cut-off for the Tallest buildings list. Those that are at least 193 metres tall without the aid of non-habitable structures are excluded from this list, as they are eligible for the "50 tallest skyscrapers in Tokyo" ranking.
= Demolished or destroyed structures
=
This table lists non-habitable or partially habitable structures that have been demolished or destroyed in Tokyo, including the remote islands of Iwo Jima and Minami-Torishima (Marcus Island), and once rose approximately 100 metres (330 feet) or taller, based on standard height measurement. The "Year built" column indicates the year in which a structure was completed, while the "Year demolished" column indicates the year in which demolition work was finished. If the year in which a structure was fully demolished is unknown, the year demolition started is provided instead. Structures currently being demolished are also included, as well as those that are planned to be demolished.
