At 972 feet high and 70 floors, the Landmark Tower is Japan's tallest building and the third tallest structure. It contains 603 rooms in the five-star hotel that occupies floors 49-70. On the 69th floor, there is The Sky Garden observation deck that offers a 360-degree view of the city. On clear days, Mount Fuji can also be seen. The lower 48 floors contains shops, restaurants, clinics and offices.

Construction on the Tower began in 1990 and was completed in 1993. The architect was Hugh Stubbins and Associates.

The Landmark Tower and Yokohama are spotlighted on pages 19-20 of The Monster Movie Fan's Guide To Japan.
I visited the Landmark Tower in 2005 and enjoyed the views from The Sky Garden.
