[2025 Narita Attraction] Travel Guide for Naritasan Shinsho-ji (Updated Mar)

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. On Setsubun Day in February, there is a special event where sumo wrestlers and popular entertainers throw beans to ward off evil spirits. The Ichikawa school of Japanese Kabuki master Naritaya Ichikawa Danjuro has deep roots in Naritasan. The name of the Ichikawa family's house, "Narita-ya", comes from Narita Mountain. Since the founding of Narita Mountain, the Goma ritual has been held continuously to pray for world peace and for the wishes of the people who come to worship and make wishes to come true. #ChristmasDestinations2024

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 #Narita Omotesando #Cat I came to Narita to stay for one night before returning to Taiwan. The only thing I’m going to do this afternoon is to visit #成田新生寺 which I haven’t been to for a long time. I used to think that Narita Omotesando was a short section, but after checking the map and walking carefully, I didn’t expect it to be so long. After seeing a lighthouse that looks like a foreign port (actually a fire station), there is a downhill road. Remember to take the one on the right. When the road is flat at the bottom, Narita Shinshoji Temple is on the left. I used to think it was just a small temple, but I didn’t expect it to have Japanese-style landscaping and courtyards. Although I arrived around six o’clock and there were not many people there at that time, the magnificent aura of the temple still amazed me. But ancient temples seemed to test the strength of legs and will of the worshippers. In addition to walking along the long Narita Omotesando, you also have to climb several flights of stairs to reach the main hall. After washing your hands and saluting, there is an incense burner in the square after climbing up the stairs. You can feel the warmth of the incense if you get close. The Leifeng Pagoda on the right and the Myotowa Garden on the left (with Narita's unique ema on it) are majestic but make people feel relaxed instantly. What’s even more surprising is that there are many cute kittens around the temple! The solemn atmosphere has a warm feeling. I am glad that I took advantage of a little time to visit the temple and pay my respects, otherwise I would not have been able to fully appreciate the characteristics of Narita after coming here so many times. People say good wine sinks to the bottom of the jar, and it was only when I arrived at Xinsheng Temple that I discovered how magnificent it was. I highly recommend you to visit this place when you come to Narita or when you are planning to go back! 2023.08.30

Since we arrived in Narita by night flight, we stayed at the hotel near Narita Station that night and toured Narita city this morning. After picking up the car, we first visited Shinshoji Temple. This temple has a long history. The buildings, Buddha statues and ritual vessels in the temple are hundreds of years old, and most of them have been designated as "Important Cultural Heritage of Japan." Enter from the main gate, stroll slowly around the temple, then leave from the inner gate and walk to the "Naritasan Omote-Sando". The grilled eels here are the most famous. The eels are plump and then cut and grilled over charcoal. The "Kawatoyo" store in particular has a long queue outside the door. After enjoying a delicious eel feast here, we headed to the next attraction. #NaritaOmotesando #Xinsheng Temple #Kawatoyo Main Store

Address: 386 Nakamachi, Narita, Chiba Facilities/Atmosphere: Eel in Narita is famous, and there are many eel restaurants along the approach to Naritasan, but Kawatoyo Honten is the most popular among them! To avoid crowding, they don't line up, but hand out numbered tickets, tell you how many hours you'll have to wait, and then come back at that time. The restaurant has table seats on the first floor and tatami rooms up a steep staircase to the second floor, so it's a restaurant with a very historic feel. Points: As expected of a crowded place, the eel was fragrant and fluffy, and the cost performance was good, so it was delicious enough that you could easily finish one serving in one go. There are also many souvenir shops and restaurants along the approach to Naritasan Shinshoji Temple, and you can enjoy eating sweets while walking around!

After years of sedimentation, the architecture is simple and solemn. As you step into the temple, you will be overwhelmed by the tranquil and peaceful atmosphere. The towering ancient trees in front of the main hall, the quiet courtyard, and the curling incense smoke all exude a sense of Zen. When you are tired of shopping, go to the ancient shopping street in front of the ancient temple for a walk and a meal. The ancient shopping street is bustling with quaint shops on both sides of the street, and the dazzling array of special snacks will make you salivate. Sweet and soft Japanese confectionery and crispy Ningyoyaki, eat them while walking, super satisfying! There are also various exquisite handicrafts and traditional Japanese souvenirs, and you can find your favorite items by just picking and browsing. The historical charm of Xinsheng Temple and the bustling atmosphere of the ancient shopping street will give you double the happiness in one trip, so hurry up, my dears! #TokyoItinerary

I stopped by Naritasan on my way to Narita Airport. I was worried that there would be a lot of people, but there were surprisingly few people, which was nice♪ The temple is large and impressive, and there is a park and pond right behind it. It is very beautiful in the autumn leaves season. I stayed for an hour, but I wish I had more time. My foreign friends were also very satisfied. Also, there are many stylish souvenir shops, restaurants, and cafes on the approach to the temple, which is fun!

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.

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.
