Azerbaijan Pavilion

▷Recommended for

• Those who are a little tired of pavilions with only images.
• Those who want to enjoy the exotic exhibition in a quiet atmosphere.
• Looking for a “normal price” cafe where you can relax and take a break?

The “rotating statue” at the entrance is a real eye-catcher.

At the entrance to the Azerbaijan Pavilion is a huge object with seven statues circling around it.
It is no exaggeration to say that this place has the greatest impact.

It has such a presence that one might stop and look at it for a moment, and many people are attracted to it and enter the museum. and many people are drawn to the museum.

Inside is the usual video style + a few actual exhibits.

Upon entering the pavilion, the first thing to do was to watch the video in the dark theater.
This is a common format in recent Expo pavilions, and while the video was not that long, it was not particularly new.

After that, there are several actual exhibits of ethnic costumes and musical instruments.
The point that “it doesn’t end with just images” is a good impression, but the exhibition itself is not that flashy, and the atmosphere is rather relaxed.

The café on the 3rd floor is comfortable and a good place to hang out｜But be careful not to sell out of sweets!

The most pleasant thing about this pavilion was the regular cafe on the third floor.
While I have the impression that all cafes at the Expo are crowded & overpriced, this one was completely different.

For example…

• Coke: 380 yen
• Azerbaijani baked goods: around 500 yen
• Wine: can be ordered by the glass

Prices were on par with a regular coffee shop. There was plenty of room for seating and it was empty.
It is a good place to stop by and take a break when you are tired of the exhibits and crowds.

One thing to note is that Azerbaijani baked goods and other items seem to be popular and are often sold out.
I recommend going early if you are interested.

Summary｜Not flashy, but a healing center for tired people

Overall, there is nothing fancy, but it is a quiet and relaxed pavilion where you can quietly experience different cultures.

The rotating statue at the entrance is the main attraction and makes a big impact.

The exhibition is composed of video images and actual exhibits, and is easy to tour.

The cafe on the 3rd floor is reasonably priced and open, perfect for a break!
