Japanese architect Terunobu Fujimori, who previously created a ‘flying mud boat’ house and a quirky English tea house, has built a charming fairytale-like treehouse in Hokutu, Japan, that is perfect for viewing cherry blossoms.



Constructed for the Kiyoharu Shirakaba Museum, the structure is surrounded by cherry blossom trees. The unique lodging balances on a single cypress trunk that is sturdy enough to withstand stormy weather and earthquakes. While its façade resembles something out of a fairytale, the interior is modern and simple, with warm wooden accents.



Check out some pictures of this unique treehouse below. Wouldn’t it be nice to enjoy cherry blossoms in full bloom while ensconced in its cozy surroundings?
