About the Japanese Pavilion
Located inside Ibirapuera Park, the Japanese Pavilion was built jointly by the Japanese government and the Japanese-Brazilian community, and was donated to the city of São Paulo in 1954, in commemoration of the IV Centenary of its foundation. Since its inauguration, the space has been managed by the Brazilian Society of Japanese Culture and Social Assistance, an entity representing the Japanese-Brazilian community, and is open to the public from Thursday to Sunday. Considered one of the rare pavilions outside Japan to preserve its original characteristics, the place is one of the references of Japanese authorities visiting Brazil.
