Epcot’s Akoya Pearl Station Re-Opens
Epcot’s Japan Pavilion has re-opened the Akoya Pearls Station. The pick-a-pearl experience is located in the Mitsukoshi Japanese gift shop. The Akoya Pearls Station had been closed for around three years due to the Covid Pandemic.

The experience allows guests to purchase and choose an oyster from the tank with much ceremony.
The guest points out which oyster they want and a cast member removes it from the tank.
The oyster is then opened and a pearl is revealed. Part of the fun is the surprise of not knowing exactly what you will get. The cost of the pick-a-pearl experience is $20.00 with tax.
You can also choose from additional options to house your pearl. Necklaces, sand jars, and gift boxes are among some of the selections available.

The pick-a-pearl experience is a lot of fun for not only the guest picking out the oyster but for onlookers as well. It’s a very interactive and fun event to watch. I’m so happy that it’s finally back.
