World Trade Center (Tokyo)

Japan

The 1019th tallest building in the world

m

World Trade Center Building was a 40-story commercial skyscraper located in Hamamatsuchō, Minato, Tokyo. Completed in 1970, the building was one of Japan's earliest skyscrapers. Upon its completion, the 163-meter-tall WTC Building took the title of Japan's tallest skyscraper from the Kasumigaseki Building; it retained this title until Keio Plaza Hotel's North Tower was completed one year later. The building was home to the World Trade Center Tokyo, a member of the World Trade Centers Association. It was primarily used for office space, but also included retail stores and restaurants. The building's top floor was a visitor observatory. The building was connected to the Toei Subways's Daimon Station and Hamamatsuchō Station, being serviced by two JR East lines and the Tokyo Monorail.
