Narita San
My original plan was just to go Aeon Mall to do food hunting. End up I was joining my colleagues to Narita San and we rent Kimono and do photoshoot around the area. We also try the local dessert such as fried rice ball and mochi matcha ice cream. It was delicious! Most of the local people thought I was japanese haha. These are some of the photos that we took on my one day trip in Narita. Cheers!

Naritasan Shinshoji Temple and surrounding area
I walked along the approach to Naritasan Shinshoji Temple and the temple grounds!
I went on a weekday, so it wasn't too crowded and the shops were relatively empty.
The popular eel restaurant doesn't require a ticket, so I recommend going on weekdays.
I went to a shop called Miyoshiya, and it had a great atmosphere, so I recommend it. See photo.
It was also relatively empty, so I recommend it!
The rice shop was also empty!
I recommend going on weekdays.
It was relatively crowded on weekends, so I think it's best to go on weekdays.
There were a lot of foreign tourists, Japanese tourists, and customers collecting goshuin stamps at Naritasan Shinshoji Temple!
If you're visiting Narita Airport or Narita, why not go and check it out as it's a recommended tourist spot!
It's a 15-minute walk from Narita Station to Naritasan Shinshoji Temple. There are many shops along the way, so I think you will enjoy it. Why not come and visit us?

Let's go to Naritasan Temple and Omotesando near Narita Station.
TOKYO Latest trip, let's walk around Narita Station.
Arriving in Narita but have little time, you can still go sightseeing. Because it is only one train station away from the airport. It takes only ten minutes by train. The fare is only 200 yen. Near Narita Station, there are the following places to visit:
🌀 Omotesando Street
This street is an old traditional shopping street that stretches all the way to Naritasan Temple. The day I went, I was lucky that there was a festival. It was a different atmosphere. Both sides of the road are old and modern houses. The road is a downhill slope, full of shops and local sweet shops. We ate until we were full. 555 But what I liked was the dango. I have to say that out of all the dango I've tried, the dango here is the most delicious. And before you get to the temple, you will find a grilled eel rice shop, which is a famous food of this city.
The highlight of this street is the statue of the 12 zodiac animals. But that day, I was too busy watching the festival, so I didn't notice it. But I found the 12 Zodiac Clock Tower, it's beautiful. Walk almost to the end of the road and you'll find Naritasan Temple.
⛩ Naritasan Temple
Naritasan Temple, when you take the train into Tokyo, you'll see it. When you see it up close, I have to say that it's a very beautiful and large temple. If you have time, you'll want to walk around more.
For those who like shopping, there's also the Aeon Mall, which is very large.
Getting there: 🚞 Take the local JR line from the airport to JR Narita Station. The fare is only 200 yen if you get on at Terminal 2, or take the Keisei train to Keisei Narita Station. It takes about 10 minutes by train. Both stations are close to each other.

Chiba🇯🇵 Naritasan Shinshoji Temple
Naritasan Shinshoji Temple is a Buddhist temple in Narita, Chiba Prefecture, Japan. The main deity is Acala, so it has been called "Narita Immovable" since ancient times. It is a major center of Acala belief. During the three-day New Year's Day holiday, as many as 3 million people came to Narita Mountain to make wishes.

Chiba | Highly Recommended for Narita Airport Transit! A 3-Hour Time Travel Experience.
Naritasan, surprisingly, isn't as well-known as it should be.
It's just a 15-minute trip from Narita Airport, making it an excellent destination for those with a few hours of transit time!
Naritasan boasts a charming townscape that retains a perfect blend of old-world charm.
The main attraction, Naritasan Shinshoji Temple, was founded about 1,000 years ago and is famous for its blessings of warding off evil and bringing good fortune!
Every New Year, many people visit for their first shrine visit of the year.
The temple grounds feature beautiful gardens and historical buildings, making it perfect for a leisurely stroll.
And while you're here, you must try the eel.
Watching the skilled craftsmen swiftly prepare the eel at the storefront is nothing short of magical!
Their speed is mesmerizing.
For those who aren't fans of eel, a relaxing tea time at a local café is also recommended.

Coastal Charm and Gateway to Adventure
#japan #japantrip #chiba
Culturally, Chiba boasts the historic Naritasan Shinshoji Temple, a beautiful complex that attracts visitors seeking a peaceful, spiritual experience. The surrounding Narita city offers a charming, traditional atmosphere with local shops and eateries.
Chiba also has strong agricultural roots, known for producing top-quality peanuts, strawberries, and other fresh produce, which can be enjoyed at local markets and farms.
In my opinion, Chiba is more than just a gateway to Tokyo or a stopover—it’s a destination in its own right, offering a blend of fun, relaxation, history, and nature that appeals to both local and international visitors.

#dreamdestination For the people who are traveling to Japan or transiting at Narita Airport, Naritasan Shinshoji Temple is the best destination that it can’t be miss. Wonderful temple with wonderful vibes. And just take 30 minutes from the Airport so you can visit here before you travel back or just for transition if you have time more than 5 hrs for transition. My trip this time just take time around 6 hrs including travel to the airport and checking in to immigration.

Naritasan Shinshoji Temple near Narita Airport
This temple has a history of over 1000 years and its principal image is Acala. It is popular for New Year's visits, and many worshippers visit every year.
It is easy to get to from Tokyo, and the nearest stations are JR Narita Station and Keisei Narita Station.
It is close to Narita Airport, so you can visit during the day if you have an evening flight.
The temple grounds are large, there is greenery, and there are several halls.
There are quite a few stairs to go up and down, so if you are visiting before going to Narita Airport, we recommend leaving your luggage in a coin locker at the station.
There are also many eel restaurants and food shops where you can eat rice crackers and other foods on the go on the Naritasan Omotesando, so it is also fun to stroll around Omotesando.
It is a recommended spot to stop by on a day trip from Tokyo, or before flying to another place from Tokyo.

#tokyotrip
For my last day in Tokyo, I decided to stay near the airport the last night. To my delight and totally unplanned I discovered that there was a beautiful temple and park within 18 minutes walking distance of my hotel.
Naritasan Shinshoji is a beautiful temple and I had a great time walking around to explore
It’s an easy walk from the nearest station and lots of shops/restaurants to eat and shop.
Highly recommended to check this temple out if you’re looking for something to do on the way to the Narita airport.
