Chart 2-3. Number of High Rise Buildings and Building Safety Centers 2013-

2017

As buildings in Tokyo become higher, larger, and deeper, the number of fire safety centers

mandatory for large scale/high rise buildings in accordance with Article 55-2-2 of the Fire

Prevention Regulations also increases.

Chart 2-4. Number of Buildings with Sprinklers and Automatic Fire Alarms

2013-2017

The number of buildings with sprinklers and automatic fire alarms has been increasing as the

number of high rise (11 and more floors or more than 31 meters high) buildings where sprinklers

are mandatory has been increasing. Another reason is that small social welfare facilities installed

automatic fire alarms and sprinklers, small hotels installed automatic fire alarms, and small clinics

installed sprinklers when the fire service law was amended recently.
