It’s aiming to open its doors by 2022, so put this at the top of the list to be one of the first people to experience amazing views of glaciers, fjords, and nature at its best.
The Robot Restaurant – Japan
Japan in and of itself is a glimpse into the future because they’re always one step ahead and constantly coming up with amazing, weird and innovative ideas and structures. However, if there was just one place for your to pick on your visit to Japan, it should definitely be the Robot Restaurant in Tokyo.

The professionals behind EL wire point out that these kinds of lights are found in every color under the sun and give off a supernatural and alien glow. That alone will have you feeling you’re light years into the future. But what really steals the spotlight is the robot show that is performed by very talented performers. This is an experience that you’re sure to never forget.

Sky Garden – South Korea
