Japan #3 - Tree House Of Modern Nature?! What...? I was ready to see some unusual ...

... things in Japan but this house really filled me with amazement. The lower part with the glass front looks like a commercial building, the representative entrance could be that of a theatre, while the upper part gives the impression of a giant private rooftop garden. A closer look revealed that this is the Tokyu Plaza Omotesando Harajuku shopping center designed by Hiroshi Nakamura. The entrance is indeed special as you go up through a Kaleidoscope mirrored tunnel. And on top you'll find the Omohara beer forest rooftop terrace. Great architecture!
