I Often Mention Bee Gardens,

on the top of a building I pass,

photographs courtesy Terunobu Fujimori/Kodomari Fuji, and on many bus stops, but here is the proper way to make a bee home, 

the building is in the village of Fujimi is located near the border of Nagano and Yamanashi Prefectures, in Japan, thirteen years in the making, ‘Kodamari Fuji‘ is Fujimori’s first-ever lodge and will allow groups of up to 5 to stay, surrounded by rice fields, the guest house sits atop a hill on a 4,000 square meter site, 

nearby is a 300-year old cherry blossom tree, a symbol of the region, which is what inspired the architect to plant fuji-sakura cherry trees across the roof,

and it is here that architect Terunobu Fujimori decided to build his first-ever guest lodge,

you can learn more about the lodge and book reservations for 94600¥ a night, at today's rate £510.84 or $648.93 on their website, there is more news of them on Instagram, what a wonderful setting, and I bet someone waters the trees/bee garden, unlike the ones I know of in the UK!
