Okinawa's Giant Treehouse Restaurant

Where: Okinawa, Japan
October 30, 2008 at 2:30 PM | by | Comment (1)

Towering above the regular stores and parking lot of the Banyan Town shopping center in Okinawa, Japan is what looks like some strange freak accident of nature: The Naha Harbor Diner is perched 20 feet in the air on top of a gigantic concrete banyan tree. It looks incredibly realistic, almost as if the tree grew freakishly out of control one night, taking the building with it.

The diner is accessible by spiral staircase or in-tree elevator--but not by hanging rope ladder. Locally grown and organic foods are featured, and guests are treated to an awesome view of the Naha Harbor.
