The Japanese tree restaurant

This is sure to bring back memories of childhood when you wanted a tree fort. The Naha Harbor Diner in Okinawa, Japan, is a one-of-a-kind restaurant design that definitely conjures up forestry feelings. Nestled into an enormous Gajumaru tree, with expansive views over the city and an elevator in the trunk, the unusual architecture attracts people from all over the world.

Sadly, the tree is constructed from concrete, but the food, a blend of Asian/Indian fusion, is rumoured to be good and the restaurant is considered a romantic spot to dine.

The restaurant is accessible by both a spiral stairway and an inbuilt tree trunk elevator.
