Japan is a wonderful country, but let’s be honest, it’s a very long and very expensive trip… So before you set off to discover the Land of the Rising Sun, we’re offering you a sneak peek. Located at La Villette, a massive exhibition showcases Japanese culture through a vast immersive experience spanning over 2,000 m²! And you can check it out right now.
A monumental immersive exhibition on Japan
What if we told you that you could travel to Japan without leaving Paris? To do so, head to La Villette, which is currently hosting—and will continue to host throughout the summer—a massive exhibition dedicated to the archipelago. During your visit, you’ll explore a traditional neighborhood reminiscent of those in Kyoto, the bustling streets with Tokyo’s multicolored neon lights, as well as Zen gardens…No aspect of Japanese culture has been left out.
Each display has been designed with a unique sound and lighting atmosphere to truly immerse you. For example, you can literally stroll through the prints of Hokusai and Hiroshige via XXL projections. You can also walkthrough Kyoto’s magnificent torii-lined alleys, visit a hyper-realistic reproduction of a capsule hotel, sample traditional cuisine, or step into the shoes of a mangaka before recharging your batteries at the foot of magnificent Mount Fuji…
An incredible experience you absolutely must try!
