Sunshine 60, Mixed-use skyscraper in Higashi-Ikebukuro, Japan
The Sunshine 60 building reaches 239.7 meters high with 60 floors above ground and 5 underground levels in the Toshima ward of Tokyo.
Before its construction in 1978, the location served as Sugamo Prison, where Japanese war criminals were detained following World War II.
The building forms part of Sunshine City, a major entertainment complex that includes an aquarium, planetarium, theater, museum, and shopping centers.
Forty high-speed elevators transport visitors from the basement to the observation deck on the 60th floor in just 35 seconds.
The structure remained the tallest building in Asia from 1978 until 1985, when Seoul's 63 Building surpassed its height.
