This place is special. Purely because of its organic Modernist style. It's kinda like Ghibli meets Gaudi. It's called Nukumori World. It's quite difficult to pinpoint what this world exactly is. But it appears to be a small village in Hamamatsu-City, Shizuoka which consists of 6 quirky houses. The eccentric architect Sasaki offers his services to anyone who visits the world and there's even a video to show you how he can transform your dingy house into a Turkish Delight style cottage. For instance, the Cottage of Warmth is a store that sellls a vast array of interior goods from all around the world. In case you blink, there are some odd European antiques, hand-made African crafts, Fair Trade products and lots of smiley pig figurines. Once you enter this cottage, it is evident that it is unique from its dome like interior to its recessed-displayed pots and rustic appearance. The other is donceur which has the same aura as the Cottage of Warmth but it's a restaurant. It offers French cuisine lunch and dinner set menus. I must say it was breathtaking to see it all at beginning but it was short-lived. Classiying it as a gem will depend entirely on one's taste.
