Offtopic, but

> the tallest building in Tokyo is only 255 meters

There is a hotel in this tower (called Andaz) and it has a proper swimming pool on the 37th floor. Quite an jaw-dropping experience on its own, but doubly so during an earthquake.

You barely feel it during an earthquake, because the building has multiple stabilising mechanisms.

    Yep, but you do feel it, because something is... off.

      Ah, yes, It’s super freaky. I worked from a hotel room at the Yokohama Landmark Tower for a month, and I had some freak outs. Your balance feels off, even if you don’t feel the shakes.
