When construction finishes in March 2028, Torch Tower will be the tallest building in Japan.

It’s part of the Tokiwabashi Project, a redevelopment project right by Tokyo Station. The aim of the project is to revitalize the area that was once a gateway to Edo Castle (now the site of the Imperial Palace).

The skyscraper will feature an observation deck offering sweeping views of Tokyo Bay and Mount Fuji.
