Five, six, seven hours in line to enter the Japan Pavilion. Let’s try to describe this legend of Expo Milan 2015.
The pavilion “forbidden” because of super line outside is an elegant wooden structure achieved through a combination of ancient and modern techniques. Designed by architect Atsushi Kitagawara, the Japanese pavilion has reasoned much about content, proposing the theme “Harmonious Diversity” that contributes to the resolution of global problems. Inside everything, it is technological and multimedia with a path in different rooms ending in the supermarket of the future.
The first room contains some Japanese prints that represent the four seasons. Here pictures on the walls, mirrors, lights and beautiful movies I involve the visitor and recreate the environment of the rice fields in Japan.
Then continue in the hallway of flowers and aromas that leads to the second room containing the “Waterfall of Diversity”. This installation simulates the effect of water falling from the ceiling and carries information on agriculture, nutritional reserves and Japanese culture. Visitors can interact with their smartphones through a dedicated app with a techno-cascade.
Going forward you enter the food hall where you can admire in showcase various foods typical of Japanese cuisine, such as sushi, sashimi and many other varieties.

Following the visit, the route leads to a room with a long black table, set with objects of Japanese tradition and futuristic design.
Finally, the restaurant of the future. Visitors will enter a mock restaurant where you eat only virtually. In this environment, it takes place the final show, interactive, and engaging technology, to discover the resources of Japanese cuisine.
