Not even close. The Japan tsunami was 23 feet (7 meters) high at its highest point.

The Indian ocean Tsunami of December 26, 2004 produce waves possibly as high as 100 feet (30 meters)

The largest tsunami on record occurred in Lituya bay, Alaska on July 9, 1958. At one point was 1719 feet (524 meters) high. Fortunate it occurred in remote area where local topography limited damage.
