Tokyo is the most populated of Japan's 47 prefectures.[1] Mainland Tokyo is divided into two sections: Western Tokyo and the special wards of Tokyo. The prefecture's tallest structures are within the 23 special wards, which comprise the area formerly incorporated as Tokyo City. As of January 2025, there are over 200 structures in Tokyo that stand at least 150 metres tall (492 feet), of which 47 are at least 200 metres tall (656 feet), including those that are still under construction but have been topped out.[2][3][4] Most of these structures are buildings; however, there are other types of structures among the tallest in the prefecture, such as freestanding towers and incineration smokestacks.
The tallest structure in the prefecture is Tokyo Skytree, a megatall lattice tower that rises 634 metres (2,080 feet), which was completed in 2012.[5][6] It also stands as the tallest structure in Japan, the tallest tower in the world, and the third-tallest freestanding structure in the world.[5][7] The second-tallest structure in Tokyo is the 333-metre-tall (1,092 feet) Tokyo Tower, a lattice tower completed in 1958.[7][8] The tallest building and third-tallest overall structure is the 325-metre-tall (1,068 feet) Azabudai Hills Mori JP Tower, completed in 2023 and being Tokyo's only supertall skyscraper.[7][9] It is also the tallest building in Japan and the world's largest skyscraper by floor area. Including topped-out buildings, Tokyo is home to 17 of the 25 tallest freestanding structures and 18 of the 25 tallest buildings in Japan.[7]
As of January 2025, 30 skyscrapers are under construction in the prefecture (150 m or taller), with 10 planned to rise higher than 200 metres, including a supertall skyscraper—the 385-metre-tall (1,263 feet) Torch Tower—which is set to become the new tallest building in Tokyo and Japan upon completion in 2028.[10][11]
