Recently, photos of a “mushroom house” sitting on a narrow concrete staircase went viral on Japanese social media and leaving viewers baffled.
The photos were originally posted by A Japanese Twitter user, Yuko Mohri, who has been shared over 20,000 times on the popular social network. They tweet shows a one-story house built atop on a very narrow concrete staircase, somewhere in Japan.
The unique house is located at Jobanki Prefectural Road 294, Azumigawa Town, Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture 520-1211, and appears to have been inhabited at least at one point. As for the reasons why its owners decided to build it like a modern baba Yaga’s house, that remains a mystery.
Some people claimed that the design helped the owner save on property tax, which seems unlikely, while others suspected that this was the only solution to get two parking spaces out of a really small plot of land.
People also claim that the photo has been photoshopped to create the illusion. Twitter user Trickle Guro quickly to share the Google Earth coordinates of the bizarre house.
