I emailed Kuriyama-san to ask permission to post his pictures, but he hasn't replied yet. I hope this is ok for him.

Cool pics.

One question? how come there are no skyscrapers over 60 stories like in hong kong and chicago ?
awesome pics

Japan is more frequenly hit by earthquakes, and therefore, there are mostly low-rise buildings. The landscape would look significantly different otherwise.

Taiwan is also frequently hit by Earthquakes, so is U.S. West Coast. Heck, the whole Pacific Rim is frequently hit by Earthquakes but then we have Taipei 101 in Taiwan and numerous other extremely tall skyscrapers dotted throughout the whole Pacific Rim, including the U.S. West Coast.

There goes your excuse :)

I'm actually pretty sure Japan is hit more by Earthquakes than Western US and Taiwan... Regardless, in the last 15 years, there's been major advancements in engineering, therefore, it's possible to build more skyscrapers (hence the Shinjuku developments).

NICE PICS

Not really, the San Andreas fault in California is extremely active but that doesn't stop San Francisco or LA from building supertalls. They constantly experience minor earthquakes and a major one every so often.

U.S. Geological Survey maps show Japan (http://earthquake.usgs.gov/regional/world/seismicity/japan.php) having much more eathquakes compared with the Western US (http://earthquake.usgs.gov/regional/states/seismicity/us_west_seismicity.php). When compared with Taiwan, we don't really have a good excuse, though.

I remember you guys the nishi shinjuku 3 chou-me project 350 meter and the new sumida tower 610 meter. I am pretty sure that also in Tokyo the super high rise building culture will be strong in future...
