The Yokohama Landmark Tower (横浜ランドマークタワー, Yokohama Randomāku Tawā^?) is the tallest habitable building in Japan. (The Tokyo Tower is taller, but does not count as a building in the strict sense as it is a radio tower). It is located in the futuristic Minato Mirai 21 district of Yokohama city, right next to Yokohama Museum of Modern Art. Its height is about 295.8 meters (970 feet). The building contains a five star hotel which occupies floors 49-70. The lower 48 floors are used as offices and retail. Work on the building was finished in 1993. The building contains two tuned mass dampers on the (hidden) 71st floor on opposite corners of the buildings, designed to reduce sway. Image File history File links Broom_icon. ...
