In the Japanese city of Yamanashi is an interesting museum Kiyoharu Shirakaha, surrounded by a beautiful garden. One of the most unusual 'exhibits' of this museum is situated in the garden. It is a magic tea house built on a tree. The interior of the cottage has been designed according to beautiful national traditions. Having located at the panoramic window, guests of the hotel can taste the best sorts of tea and admire a wonderful panorama of the surroundings. The construction of the house is quite original and does not contain ordinary doors of the traditional kind. To get into the house, one has to climb up a special staircase and then use the hatch in the floor.

Many experienced travellers strive to visit the museum and the charming tea house in spring when the main ornament of the garden is the cherry blossom.
