Japan has more than 300 high-rise buildings above 150 m. Unlike China, South Korea, Taiwan and Malaysia with skyscrapers exceeding 400 m in height, Japan's skyscrapers are relatively shorter. All buildings above 50 m must also be as earthquake-proof as possible and adhere to other strict structural standards. The tallest building in Japan is currently the 325.5 m tall Azabudai Hills Mori JP Tower, located in the Toranomon district of Tokyo. The 390 m Torch Tower is set to be completed in 2027 as the country's new tallest building.

Completed

This list ranks Japanese skyscrapers that stand at least 190 m tall, based on standard height measurement. This height includes spires and architectural details but does not include antenna masts. An equal sign (=) following a rank indicates the same height between two or more buildings. The "Year" column indicates the year in which a building was completed. Existing partially habitable structures are included for comparison purposes; however, they are not ranked.

Under construction

This table lists buildings that are under construction in Japan and are planned to rise at least 190 m. Any buildings that have been topped out but are not completed are also included.

Proposed

This table lists buildings proposed for construction in Japan that are planned to reach a height of at least 190 m. Visionary projects are excluded from this list, but Tokyo's tallest 'vision' projects can be found in the list of tallest structures envisioned for Tokyo.

Timeline of tallest buildings

This is a list of buildings that once held the title of tallest building in Japan. From its completion in 1958 and until the opening of the Tokyo Skytree in 2011, Tokyo Tower retained the title of tallest structure in Japan, aside from various guyed masts that were built in the 1960s and 1970s, later dismantled in the 1990s.
