The Japan pavilion is one of the big ones. It sits across the Epcot globe. There are multiple small and large restaurants here. The gift shop is so huge, took about 15 minutes just walk from one side to another. In the shop, they also pearl farming, people were picking their own oysters to pick out pearls. There’s an art gallery too but no rides.
A Torii gate is placed in the water that has the globe center aligned to it. Looks stunning at night time. It is a very popular photo spot. They have Disney photo pass spot here too.
