Landmark Tower

Yokohama


Standing an impressive 296m high (70 storeys), the Landmark Tower was Japan's tallest skyscraper until overtaken in 2014 by Osaka's Abeno Harukas. Superfast elevators whisk you up to the 69th-floor Sky Garden observatory, with views to Tokyo and Mt Fuji on clear days, and affording a glimpse into games taking place at Yokohama Stadium.
