Hairy Building ― 2009/11/09
Trim your unkempt hair!
This is not a building to laugh at.
Actually this is a half- public, half-commercial building built on the site where the prefectural government office used to stand. The jungle covering the surface of the building is said to be placed in order to create a harmonised view with the park next to this building.
As this monster is built to offer ‘cultural and international interchange’ to the local residents, the management seems to have chosen its ‘dignified’ tenants carefully.
Indeed, there is no fishmonger, Internet café, or secondhand bookshop ( So there is no point for me to go, except for when I want to see something weird). Main tenants are an international organization, concert halls, conference rooms, and a passport service office.
Also, some restaurants and boutiques occupy the lower floors. I don’t know their relationships with the building’s concept; cultural promotion, though.
Anyway, if you would like, you can climb up this little mountain. Entrance is free.
