Just came back from Japan last week. Went to Tokyo for conference and added side trip to Tateyama Alpine Route and Kanazawa. I must say that Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route was great. You can do the trip either from Nagano side or Toyama side. For us, we did it from the Nagano side. Took the Shinkansen to Nagano early morning. Then boarded the express bus to Ogizawa.

Welcome to Denmark Pavilion. You have option to hire a bicycle and explore the pavilion or you can choose to walk. It said its city is the bicycle city - everybody moves around by bicycle. Don't know how true is this.
The original little mermaid statue was relocated from Copenhagen to here. This could be the main attraction right after you entered from the main entrance.
What would be Danish export to the world - none other than its famous Danish beer, Carlsberg. Well, no free beer here.
Besides Carlsberg, Lego is shown here. I didn't know Lego is from Denmark. Do you?
Overall, Denmark Pavilion did not offer much. Its selling point was the environmental conscious city - the bicycle city. At least it's no ordinary tourism exhibition.
