Now THAT'S What I Call A Tree House!



(click to see full size)

The Banyan Town shopping center near the entrance of Onoyama Park in Okinawa, Japan holds the Naha Harbor Diner, which is a life-size rendition of the country's famous Banyan tree. It is a 20 ft. tall tree with a pan-Asian restaurant held tight within the branches and trunk of the tree (it's not a man-made tree folks- it's the real deal). To get up in the restaurant, there is a spiral staircase in the back or you can take the elevator inside the trunk (wicked!). The restaurant caters organic foods from local grown farms.

Now that's what I call a tree house!
