Fuji Kindergarten (located in Japan) was built as a ring around a Zelkova tree for an incredible reason.
The tree, which is about 50 years old, was nearly uprooted during a typhoon. It became lifeless and gray, but against everyone’s expectations, it recovered and became healthy once again. Before the kindergarten was even built in 2007, the tree was a popular place for kids to climb and hang out.
Now, the surrounding building’s windows face inwards at the tree so the children inside can see it all the time. For recess, or when they’re waiting for their bus, the kids can play on the platforms around the tree. An adult would only see 2 floors on the structure, but small meter-high levels give children places to explore where adults might not fit!
