]]>Tokyo Skytree
The title of Tokyo’s tallest building belongs to Tokyo Skytree, at the height of 2,080 ft. In addition to being the tallest building in all of Japan, Skytree is also the tallest tower in the world and the second tallest building overall after the Burj Khalifa. It’s Japan’s primary broadcasting tower, and tourists can’t resist its 360-degree observation deck.
Tokyo Tower
The design of Tokyo’s second-tallest structure draws clear inspiration from the Eiffel Tower in Paris. What sets it apart is its vibrant white and orange color, and it wasn’t painted this way for the aesthetics alone. The tower was painted to comply with air safety regulations, and it’s worth the visit for its amazing observation decks alone.
Toranomon Hills
Toranomon Hills is one of Tokyo’s most imposing skyscrapers, but it’s not as popular with tourists as the previous two. It doesn’t feature a busy observation deck flocking with people from all around the world because it’s primarily an apartment and business complex, but it’s also home to the lavish hotel Andaz Tokyo Toranomon Hills.
