As of May 2024, at least 184 buildings are exceeding 150 metres (492 feet) in Tokyo. Apart from these, [[Tokyo Tower]] (333m) and [[Tokyo Skytree]] (634m) feature high-elevation observation decks; the latter is the tallest tower in both Japan and the world, and the third tallest structure in the world.<ref name="skytree" /> With a scheduled completion date in 2027, [[Torch Tower (Japan)|Torch Tower]] (385m) will overtake [[Azabudai Hills|Azabudai Hills Mori JP Tower]] (325.2m) as the tallest building in Tokyo.
