A must-see for transiting at Narita Airport! Explore the surrounding ancient temples✨

My dears, don’t just wait around when you’re in transit at Tokyo Narita Airport! There are many great places to visit around the airport. 📍Xinsheng Temple This thousand-year-old temple, which was founded in 940 AD, is full of charm. Although most of the temples have been renovated, the three-story pagoda built in 1712 is a national heritage site of Japan and it will amaze you at first sight! It takes about 2-3 hours to tour the entire temple in detail, allowing you to immerse yourself in the tranquility and solemnity of the ancient temple. 🏮Sando Shopping Street After visiting Shinshoji Temple, you can walk to the sando shopping street outside the temple. This place has an ancient style and is full of Japanese style. There are many small shops along the street, where you can find many special small items. Especially don’t miss Narita’s famous eel rice! Many restaurants kill and grill the fish freshly, and the freshness is visible to the naked eye. I missed it last time because I was in a hurry to catch the plane, and I still feel regretful 😭 🌳Naritayama Park Just outside the temple, the area is very large. Walking through the area, you will see green trees and the air is exceptionally fresh. Different seasons have different beautiful scenery, with cherry blossoms in full bloom in spring and fiery red leaves in autumn. 🚇Transportation Tips • By JR Train: From Narita Airport (Terminal 1, Terminal 2), take the JR train to JR Narita Station, which takes about 8 minutes. After exiting the station, it takes about 10 minutes on foot to reach Xinsheng Temple. • Take the Keisei Railway: Take the Keisei Railway at Narita Airport (Terminal 1, Terminal 2) to Keisei Narita Station. The journey takes about 8-10 minutes. After getting off the bus, it takes about 10 minutes on foot to reach Xinsheng Temple. If you have some free time during a layover at Narita Airport, this is the place to go! You can not only appreciate the historical and cultural heritage, but also enjoy a feast, which is great~#TokyoTrafficStrategy

#cherryblossom25 From Hiroshima, Miyajima, Narita, Tokyo, I able to witnessed such beautiful cherry blossom this year in 2025. As winter melts away and spring gently whispers its return, Japan once again adorns itself with the delicate beauty of sakura—cherry blossoms that symbolize not just the change of seasons, but the essence of life itself. In 2025, the annual bloom of sakura feels more than just a natural event; it is a reminder of renewal, hope, and the quiet strength found in fleeting moments. I felt blessed able to witnessed such beautiful cherry blossom. In Ueno park, many peoples gathered together to witness the beauty of cherry blossom. In these moments, nature brings people together, inviting them to slow down, reflect, and appreciate the present.

Naritasan Shinsho-ji

Narita Temple is far from Narita Airport. The temple is very big, the area is large, and it is sacred. There is no entrance fee. Around the temple, there are souvenir shops and many restaurants. Most of the tourists come with tours. The surrounding area is full of tall trees, including ginkgo trees and maple leaves. If you come during the changing leaves season, it will be very beautiful. The journey is a bit difficult. You can get off at Narita Station and take a bus, or take a taxi, or you can walk about 500 meters.
