Beside the Japanese Tower is a wooden building which does indeed look authentically Japanese. Not sure exactly what it is

"Following the Paris Universal Exhibition in 1900, King Leopold II decided to commence building-work on the Japanese Tower. Work was entrusted to the Parisian architect, Alexandre Marcel, known for his oriental-style buildings. It was he who purchased the entry pavilion to the Japanese Pagoda, built by a Japanese carpenter, at the Paris Universal Exhibition, and had it decorated by specialists from Yokohama." "The Pagoda stands nearly 50 metres tall, across the road from the rest of the museum buildings."
