The Kenya Pavilion at Expo Osaka 2025 welcomed its 2 millionth visitor, marking another proud milestone in our journey. The vibrant Commons A transformed into a purely Kenyan affair the moment the announcement was made, with celebrations even grander than those for our 1 millionth visitor.

The star of the day was Mr. Junichi Niimi, a young and humble rocket engineer from Nagoya Prefecture, visiting the Expo for the very first time. Overjoyed and deeply moved, he shared that he could not miss experiencing the Kenya Pavilion, having long fallen in love with the irresistible aroma of Kenyan coffee.

Accompanied by his father, mother, and brother, Eng. Niimi was treated to a sumptuous serving of nyama choma, a signature Kenyan delicacy. Draped in a vibrant Maasai shuka, he said the experience made him feel “truly Kenyan — a warrior at heart.”

But the celebration was not his alone. Visitors joined in the festivities, with a lively coffee-tasting session setting the perfect tone for the day. From the warmth of our hospitality to the aroma of our finest brews, we once again showcased the magic, culture, and spirit of our beautiful nation.
