About Sajos
Sajos is a Sámi cultural center on the Juutuanjoki in Inari. The contemporary building arranges activity and service spaces within a setting surrounded by vegetation. The architectural visit lets you observe volumes, materials, and the complex’s relationship with the place.
Guided routes present the building and aspects of Sámi culture and languages. Because the rooms have everyday uses, visitor circulation depends on the chosen format and the schedule. Do not expect access to every room just by arriving at the entrance.
Book in advance on the official website for a guided visit and confirm the meeting point. Sajos is close to Siida, but the two sites have different programs and access. Allow time between visits to walk through the Inari core and note the relationship with the river.
