[Updated]
Evening viewing hours and other information have been updated.
To allow more visitors to enjoy the Signature Pavilion Better Co-Being, we are pleased to announce that in addition to the previously offered reservation-free night viewing, reservation-free morning viewing will begin on Tuesday, 22 July 2025.
The “Resonance between People and the Future” area (Sequence 3) is themed around human connection and future possibilities. It features two major art installations: “The Sky of Resonance” by MIYATA Hiroaki, the Theme Producer of Better Co-Being, and “Embracing Diversity”, created by EiM(pronounced “aim”), a creative team of experts from various fields, led by Better Co-Being Theme Producer MIYATA Hiroaki and photographer and film director NINAGAWA Mika led by MIYATA.
Designed by SANAA, the grid-like canopy structure eliminates walls and ceilings, seamlessly connecting the sky and forest. Approximately 400 delicate wires are suspended throughout the space, each adorned with a sun catcher. None of these suncatchers are arranged identically, symbolizing a “non-uniform collection” that celebrates diversity. On sunny days, these catch and refract natural light into rainbow hues, while artificial rain may produce actual rainbows. On cloudy or rainy days, mist and artificial lighting combine in a dreamlike display. At night, around 15,000 crystals illuminated by lighting fill the space with countless points of light, offering a luminous and immersive experience under a pavilion with no walls or ceiling. We invite you to enjoy the ever-changing ambiance shaped by weather and time of day.
