Sunshine 60

Sunshine 60 is a 60-storey mixed-use skyscraper in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, next to the Sunshine City complex. On its completion in 1978, at 239.7 metres tall, it was the tallest building in Asia until 1985 and the tallest in Tokyo and Japan until 1991. Visitors can go up to the observation deck on the 60th floor, from which views stretch up to 100 km on a clear day, with an admission fee of up to 620 yen. The deck is reached by a high-speed lift that runs directly from the lobby at 600 metres a minute. The building houses retail space on floors 1 to 9, offices on floors 10 to 57 and restaurants on floors 58 and 59. It also stands on the former site of Sugamo Prison, where high-ranking war criminals were executed, and popular folklore holds that the area is haunted.
