<a href="http://www.yoyogi-village.jp/top/index.php">Yoyogi Village</a> is an awe-inspiring urban retreat that boasts a verdant garden sanctuary right in the heart of Tokyo. Designed by <a href="http://wonder-wall.com/#project/en">Wonderwall</a> and a suite of other designers, the leafy spot is situated very close to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoyogi_Station">JR Yoyogi Station</a> and houses the Code Kurkku restaurant as well as a tranquil garden filled to the brim with lush greenery. Most enviably of all, a <a href="http://inhabitat.com/vertical-gardens-by-patrick-blanc/">massive living wall</a> that can be seen from just about every part of the restaurant brightens and freshens up the entire dining experience. Step in to experience a small measure of the peace that this extraordinary mini village bestows upon the local Japanese.
