Saudi Arabia’s Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka has received over a million visitors since its inauguration on April 13, according to Arab News.
The pavilion, designed by Foster + Partners, features the Kingdom’s unparalleled heritage and cultural aspects.
Being the second largest pavilion after Japan, the Saudi pavilion boasts more than 700 events, such as dance shows and live performances.
Through interactive events, the pavilion highlights the Kingdom’s transformative journey and its technological breakthroughs in line with the Saudi Vision 2030.
“We are honored to mark this significant milestone and the Saudi Arabia pavilion’s success in reaching one million visitors,” said Ghazi Faisal Binzagr, Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador to Japan and commissioner general of the Saudi Arabia Pavilion.
Binzagr also noted that the pavilion reflects Saudi Arabia’s dedication to boosting cultural exchange and showcasing its transformative journey.
“As we move towards reaching the next million, the pavilion remains committed to inspiring visitors to learn about Saudi Arabia’s achievements, and we look forward to deepening impact and welcoming the world,” he added.
Binzagr emphasized that the Kingdom’s participation in Expo 2025 Osaka stands as a testament to the strong Saudi-Japanese relations.
“As we journey towards Expo 2030 in Riyadh, we will leave a legacy here in Osaka. Expo 2030 Riyadh will be a testament to Saudi Arabia’s transformation as a global destination — and we are eager to welcome the world to Saudi Arabia,” he added.
Gold Prize
In May, the New York Architectural Design Awards awarded the Gold Prize to Saudi Arabia’s pavilion at Japan’s Expo Osaka 2025 in the Cultural Architecture – Interactive and Experiential Spaces category.
The award represents a prestigious recognition of the pavilion’s architectural excellence and its futuristic design that depicts the true essence of Saudi culture, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
Through a sensory journey beginning with an outer courtyard and leading into a central inner one, the structure stands out as a contemplative space showcasing the Kingdom’s cultural and urban diversity across cities and regions.
