Japan Pavilion in EPCOT
The Japan Pavilion is located in EPCOT’s World Showcase between the American Adventure Pavilion and the Morocco Pavilion. It has a very distinct look, with a torii gate in the water at the front of the pavilion, a pagoda, and all the buildings have the same look with blue roofs.
There are no public restrooms in this pavilion; the closest are in the American Adventure Pavilion and the Morocco Pavilion.

There is only one store in the Japan Pavilion, but it’s HUGE. It’s the Mitsukoshi Department Store and is home to a ton of different items, like authentic and traditional Japanese gifts ranging from kimonos to plush toys to Japanese candy.
This is the only Mitsukoshi Department Store in North America!
