The one-year-old boy landed in shrubbery at the bottom of the building, where he was found in tears by police officers who had rushed to the scene, local reports said.
Police arrested the boy's 37-year-old father on suspicion of attempted murder. The suspect, named by media as Shingo Hashimoto, reportedly admitted to the crime.
"I tried to kill my son. I tried to strangle him with my hands and dropped him" out of his bedroom window, he said according to police cited by Kyodo News.
The police said the youngster suffered only slight cuts to his face and Mr Hashimoto called the police himself after the incident.
