Japan Pavilion: Innovate for a better life
0 
While showcasing the importance of technology in building a "better city, better life," the Japan Pavilion also stresses the harmony of hearts for a better future, as shown in its theme "Harmony of the Hearts, Harmony of the Skills."
"Technology makes it possible for building a better city, better life. And we also think that people's minds toward a brighter future, people's minds in harmony with nature, in harmony with other people, in harmony with the global society is also very important," said Hiroshi Tsukamoto.
To better interpret this message, the pavilion stages a musical about China and Japan's joint efforts in protecting the crested ibis, a large white plumaged bird that serves as a symbol of nature, and highlights the importance of the connection of people in building a better future.
Visitors can also glimpse at the beautiful scenery throughout Japan's four distinctive seasons, as well as the dynamic life in its modern cities.

"We hope more Chinese tourists will go sightseeing in Japan in the near future," said the commissioner general, and added he expects the number of Chinese visitors to Japan to reach 1.8 million this year from last year's 1 million.
Tsukamoto said that Japanese government and businesses are making significant efforts to make it easier for Chinese to visit Japan with more Chinese-language broadcasting, signboards, and speaking guides.
