The United Nations Pavilion is divided into four exhibition areas: The first exhibition area presents the history of the United Nations and its institutions through a timeline; The second exhibition area, the "Spherical Exhibition Hall", vividly showcases the diverse work of the United Nations through everyday items displayed on the walls. The immersive films in the third exhibition area present a picture of the future world under the concept of sustainable development. The fourth exhibition area features a rotating theme exhibition, focusing on the work of specific institutions.
The following are the experience shares of some visitors:

Kiyoko Kaneko: I especially like that immersive film. It feels like being in a forest and a group of animals. This made me deeply realize the importance of environmental protection.
Mika Takeuchi: The immersive experience of the film is completely captivating. Although it reveals the challenges the world is facing, it also offers solutions and gives people hope.

Phil Malone: The film's information about sustainability and human rights and obligations towards the environment is clear and understandable to audiences of all ages. Although it is quite challenging to explain the Sustainable Development Goals through short films, the Japanese public generally has a relatively high awareness of these goals. When I worked for the Agricultural Development organization, I only saw similar levels of promotion in some African countries.
The private sector in Japan often promotes the Sustainable Development Goals, and this time it is in the capital Tokyo.
Akang Zhixing: The interactive Q&A while queuing taught me a lot. Japan pays more attention to environmental and sustainable consumption goals. Through the exhibition, I gained a deeper understanding of issues such as poverty and human rights that are less discussed domestically. The large number of UN agencies also surprises me.

Takashi Ishida: Although the school teaches knowledge about the Sustainable Development Goals, we didn't expect the global progress to be so slow. The special project exhibition area showcased how UN volunteers support sustainable development, which was impressive.
Sato Ayaka: Through the interaction between the wall items and the touch screen, I got to know many UN agencies. The design of exhibits such as telephones, guns and medical kits that are related to the work of the United Nations is very educational for children.
Masako Koda: This exhibition hall prompts me to think: What changes do individuals need to make to achieve the sustainable Development Goals and world peace? After returning home, I will continue to reflect on the contributions I can make.
