The Yokohama Landmark Tower was the tallest building in Japan from 1993 to 2013. It is now the second tallest building in Japan (after Abeno Harukas) and the fifth tallest structure. Construction began on March 20, 1990, and the building opened on July 16, 1993. The first 49 floors are used for offices and retail, floors 49 to 70 are used as a hotel, and the 69th floor is an observation deck. The building is 273m tall. The Yokohama Landmark Tower once had the third fastest elevator in the world, with a speed of 750m per minute (45 km/h), second only to the Taipei 101 Observatory elevator and the Tokyo Skytree. The Yokohama Landmark Tower Sky Garden is located on the 69th floor of the Yokohama Landmark Tower. It is a great place to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Yokohama. It is a landmark of Yokohama because it is the 30th tallest building in the world, standing at 296m. The Sky Garden is a 360-degree observation tower, where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Yokohama Bay and the surrounding area from the 69th floor. It takes only 40 seconds to move from the 2nd floor lobby to the open-air platform, equipped with the fastest elevator in the world, for an extraordinary experience. When you reach the Sky Garden, you can see Mt. Fuji on a clear day, with a very wide view.
