Net Forest by Tezuka Architects
Have you ever been to the Hakone Open Air Museum? I went once when I was small and loved it! And now is a better reason than ever to plan a day trip, especially if you have kids. Early last month Tezuka Architects unveiled their latest work, Net Forest. Comprised of over 500 wooden logs, the kids space is a feat of engineering that utilizes traditional interlocking architecture instead of metal. There hasn’t been a new kids space in over 15 years so this is definitely worth checking out.

I went when I was younger too! I’ve been wanting to go back for a while, but it hasn’t worked out during any of my trips to Japan in the recent past.
