Otakus abound in the anime and Kawaii areas and you'll find no shortage of unique sweets, housewares, and clothes . The restaurants offer great sushi and Japanese faire .

My favorite pavilion in Epcot. Sake bar is awesome. don't forget to try the plum wine or the Chu Hi. must be 21 years of age to consume. Staff is super friendly and enjoy chatting about Japan.

There is an art gallery in the back. It's small but air conditioned , and offers some interesting insights into Japanese creature folklore.

We ordered the ume sampler. It was just ok. We said we didn't like cucumber and half the sampler had cucumber . The service is excellent and atmosphere great. Still looking for good sushi at Disney.

Will Dasso

There are three different restaurants here. The two above the shop are full service, and the other is counter service. All are great!

Go inside the ground-level store to pick your own oyster and get your own pearls ! The store also sells a wealth of animé and other traditional Japanese goodies.

Joey Garcia

Stop by at Tokyo Dining or shop at Mitsukoshi! The Taiko Drum Show is also something great to watch.

The little sake kiosk across from the big staircase to Teppan Edo has awesome flavored sake cocktails . The pineapple one is the best. So refreshing!

One of the best shops in Epcot. Beautiful clothing , bags, jewelry as well as knick knacks and yummy candy !

Super cute Pavilion feels like you're in Japan I think. DO NOT try the Green Tea ice cream ... it is not soft serve and tastes like water.

Miriam Goldman

A fantastic place to try out your Japanese. The kids there love it!

Steve Franco

The drummers are a must see and the beef udon soup !! YUM!!

Hailey Patrice

One of the most beautiful countries portrayed by Epcot! The sushi is average but the "beef sushi " is pretty gross and not worth the money.

Susan Thompson

Love the sit down seating hidden away in the pavilion.

Kassandra

During the #foodandwinefestival the stand has Chirashizushi, try it! Love it!!!

Brianna Westovet

Get a shaved ice ! Only $3.50 and huge portion , enough for 2 people to split. Cheapest/best value treat for hot days.

Their Pick-A-Pearl location is a ton of fun, offers a lot of entertainment.
