A very interesting tree house can be seen in Japan, on the territory of the natural center of Momofuku Ando. The latter deals with the active propaganda of recreation in the open air and draws the attention of the public on the environmental protection problems. A few years ago, the original house, whose outline was reminiscent of a huge birdhouse, was built on the territory of the Nature Reserve. The construction of the house was done by specialists of the famous design bureau Nendo, their project was officially called "House for 78 birds and one person."

78 individual holes were made for birds on the facade of the house, and on the other side of the house there is one large round entrance for a person. The space inside the house is divided into two parts by a wooden partition with holes through which it is convenient to observe the birds. All visitors to the center will have an opportunity to climb a comfortable staircase and diversify the rest with an unusual event - bird watching. In addition to the original house, chic picnic areas are equipped on the territory of the Nature Reserve, and many interesting routes have been developed for hikers.
