Japan Pavilion, Japanese themed pavilion in World Showcase, Epcot, Florida, United States.

The Japan Pavilion is a group of buildings around a courtyard in World Showcase, entered past a pagoda modelled on Horyuji Temple. A vermilion torii gate modelled on Itsukushima Shrine stands in the water in front, and the courtyard ends at a castle gate with a moat. The Mitsukoshi store and the Teppan Edo restaurant occupy the main building.

The Japan Pavilion is one of the original World Showcase pavilions, planned since the late 1970s with Japanese architects consulted for accuracy. A show building for Meet the World, a clone of the Tokyo Disneyland attraction, was built but never used after the film's omission of World War II raised concerns. An indoor Mount Fuji coaster was long considered; Fujifilm's early-1990s sponsorship bid was declined after Kodak intervened, and the Matterhorn-derived design later fed into Expedition Everest.

Matsuriza, the pavilion's resident taiko group, performs at the base of the pagoda. Taiko began at EPCOT in 1983 with Kanto Abare Daiko; One World Taiko's Gary Tsujimoto and Nancy Ozaki followed in 1993 before Matsuriza took over as the sole performing group. The Mitsukoshi store is divided into four zones: Festivity, Silence, Harmony and Interest.

The pavilion has multiple dining options where advance reservations are helpful to avoid long waits during peak times. The walkways are easy to navigate, and shaded areas with seating spots provide good places to rest while exploring.

The Bijutsu-kan Gallery rotates exhibitions of Japanese art and craftsmanship that many visitors overlook while exploring. The connected Mitsukoshi retail shop stocks hard-to-find authentic Japanese goods and regional items not typically available elsewhere.
