The fastest lift in Japan climbs to the 69th floor in 40 seconds, at 273 metres.

At 296 metres tall, with 70 floors, on its completion in 1993 it was the tallest building in Japan. On the 69th floor, the Sky Garden observation deck is at 273 metres and is reached in about 40 seconds by one of the fastest lifts in the country; from there the view, 360 degrees behind glass, extends up to eighty kilometres across the Kantō Plain.

Completed in 1993 in the Minato Mirai area, it was for years the tallest building in Japan; today it houses offices, a shopping centre and a hotel.

ℹ️ Sky Garden opening hours vary by season; tickets 1,000 yen adults (18–64), 800 yen high school students/65+, 500 yen elementary/junior high school students, 200 yen from age 4.
