YOKOHAMA | Landmark Tower

The Landmark Tower, still the highest building in Japan.
An impressive, massive structure, close to 300 meters high, that is the centerpiece of the Minato Mirai 21 district.
It also offers the best views of the area.

Two videos I shot in April 2010, hope you like it:

This building is the definition of epic. I've always loved it.

It's one of my favourite skyscrapers in Japan and in the world. I first saw it in 2009 and saw it again this year, its 20th anniversary. The tapered curves, facets and horizontal bands of windows give it a unique look.

70th floor Restaurant / Landmark Tower in Yokohama

I couldn't resist adding this video posted on YouTube.

It was shot in March 2011 by a couple enjoying the spectacular views from The Landmark Tower's top floor (70th) restaurant

Makes one think twice about being seated at any table near the windows.

Always liked this one. You can see it quite clearly on a sunny day from the Tokyo Tower.

The top part is a bit too postmodernist for my taste.
