The tree-house restaurant
Now that’s a hell of an idea to attract customers.
This Okinawa Tree-House restaurant, on Highway 58 at the entrance in
Onoyama Park in the south of Japan. What may look like a genuine tree
is actually a man-made concrete structure, just like the French used to
build in the lathe 19th century. Customers actually have to get in an
elevator inside the “trunk” to reach the restaurant. I have to say it’s
a pretty original idea and the work on the tree is amazing.
