The height of good taste
Here is a Japanese restaurant that is the height of good taste - literally, because the premises are perched on the branches of a huge Gajumaru tree. Yes, Naha Harbor Diner is no ordinary restaurant, offering visitors the chance to enjoy a variety of Asian dishes at six metres above ground level!

However, this is counterbalanced by the terrace, which offers a fabulous view out across the ocean.
