Yokohama Landmark Tower
The Yokohama Landmark Tower is the third tallest building and fifth tallest structure in Japan, standing high. Until surpassed by Abeno Harukas in 2014, it stood as the tallest building in Japan. It is located in the Minato Mirai 21 district of Yokohama city, next to the Yokohama Museum of Art.
The building contains a five-star hotel, the Yokohama Royal Park Hotel, which occupies floors 49–70, with 603 rooms in total. In April 2025, the hotel was closed for renovations. The lower 48 floors contain shops, restaurants, clinics, and offices. The building contains two tuned mass dampers on the 71st floor on opposite corners of the building.
On the 69th floor there is an observatory, Sky Garden, from which one can see a 360-degree view of the city and, on clear days, Mount Fuji. The observation deck ‘Sky Garden’ on the 69th floor of Yokohama Landmark Tower will temporarily close after its New Year’s Eve operation on December 31, 2025, due to large-scale renovation work within the building. After the completion of the renovation, it is scheduled to reopen sometime in or after 2028.
The tower contains what were at their inauguration the world's fastest elevators, which reach speeds of . This speed allows the elevator to reach the 69th floor in approximately 40 seconds. The elevators' speed record was surpassed by elevators of Taipei 101 in 2004, but the speed of this elevator's descent is still the fastest in the world.
The building was designed by the architecture and engineering division of Mitsubishi Estate, now Mitsubishi Jisho Sekkei and Hugh Stubbins and Associates, later KlingStubbins.
