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

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

#Tokyo Attractions Most people only think of Tokyo's Narita airport, but in fact, a 10-minute train ride away in Narita City hides a bustling old street full of history that has been preserved since the Edo period. Among them, Naritasan Shinshoji Temple is the most famous. Naritasan Shinshoji Temple, with a history of over a thousand years, is designated as an important cultural property of Japan. It is a popular spot for Japan's annual Hatsumode (New Year's visit to temples and shrines), and ranks second in the number of visitors in the Kanto region after Meiji Jingu Shrine. This temple is dedicated to Acala, and there are fortune-telling poems drawn here.

Naritasan Shinshoji Temple, with a history spanning over a thousand years, is a serene place to cleanse your mind before entering the bustling Tokyo city. The temple complex houses many buildings designated as important cultural properties. Walking up the Omotesando path, you can still experience the Edo period atmosphere, and the aroma from the eel restaurants is a magnet for food lovers. It's a must-visit spot before heading into the city.

Naritasan Shinshoji Temple is a Buddhist temple located in Narita City, Chiba Prefecture. It is a large and old temple, founded in 940. This temple houses a statue of Fudo Myo-o, which has been called "Narita Fudo" since ancient times. In front of the temple, there is also Narita Omotesando, or a beautiful shopping street, leading to the temple. 🚃 From JR Narita Station, it is a 10-minute walk. #Sakura2024 #JapanTravel #JapanTravel #TravelAbroad

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

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.

This attraction is very suitable for the first or last day, because it is only one stop away from the airport by train, and it is also a very popular attraction. Naritasan Shinshoji Temple has a history of 100 years and is also a key cultural asset. There are many visitors, second only to Meiji Jingu Shrine. And I think this place is relatively suitable for older people, because it is quite gentle to walk, and the scenery on the street is quite beautiful. I especially like Narita Omotesando at sunset🌅 #日本 #narita #naritasanomoteesando

Naritasan Shinshoji Temple has a history of over 1,080 years and is one of the leading temples in Japan, attracting over 10 million visitors a year. The vast grounds include numerous halls, a park rich in nature, and many power spots that are said to bring good fortune and good luck. #trip2023

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

We went last week with family and friends. Its Japanese temple near Narita International airport. location on Chiba prefecture.

I really liked it . fantastic🥰 #awesomepic #

It was a place with a very solemn atmosphere and you could feel its power. Because we arrived too early, the shops on the approach to the shrine were not yet open, so if you want to eat or walk around, I recommend going after 11:00. I was intrigued by the smell of grilled eel. #Breathtaking views #Historical sites #Gourmet

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! If you go by car, you can also stretch your legs at Narita Airport! There is also the Aeronautical Science Museum near the airport, which is a must-see for airplane lovers. #East Japan #Narita Airport #Naritasan #Gourmet #Eel

The headquarters of Kanto Acala, the number of people who visit the temple every year is second only to Meiji Jingu Shrine in the center of Tokyo. It is only one stop away from Narita Airport, and it is a good place to visit at the end of your flight. There are not only temples, but also many shops on Omotesando, just like the approach to Kiyomizu-dera Temple. The Acala in the temple is even more majestic and solemn. In addition, you can also worship Mahavairocana and other Buddhas at the same time. There are six kinds of red seals that can be collected at one time. It is as ancient as the Nara Temple in Kyoto. Entry is free of charge. There is also a temple-exclusive park next to it, with mountains and water. It is really a great place to use the last day before leaving Japan. Must recommend! !

I went to Naritasan Shinshoji Temple for the first time. It's very famous and close to Narita Airport, but I've never been there and it's a place I've always wanted to go to✨ I saw the colorful "Great Peace Pagoda" while taking a leisurely stroll through the quaint Japanese garden. There was almost no wind, the plum buds were swelling, and it seemed like warm spring was just around the corner🌸 I'd like to visit again in the plum and cherry blossom season and the autumn leaves season Parking fee 500 yen #Breathtaking view #Naritasan Shinshoji Temple #Narita #Prayer #Coming of spring #Spring trip

#Naritasan Shinshoji Naritasan Shinshoji is the second most visited temple and shrine in Japan, with many people visiting every year. (The first place is Meiji Shrine.) It is within walking distance of JR Narita Station, and there are souvenir shops and restaurants along the way, so you can enjoy the journey. When you arrive at Naritasan Shinshoji, you will first be greeted by a large gate. From there, you can climb the stairs to the main hall. The red hall can be seen from the Access Express heading to Narita Airport, and it feels larger than it looks. In addition, admission is free, so you can drop in any time, so I think it is one of the recommended places to visit when you are in the Narita area. #Historic sites that feel history

Before going to Korea, I stopped by a shrine called Naritasan near Narita Airport!! I had eel rice bowl for lunch and kakigori for dessert, and departed on Narita Airport.

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.

I went to Naritasan Shinshoji Temple for my first visit of the year. There were a lot of people, but I enjoyed it.

Located in Chiba Prefecture, Naritasan Shinshoji Temple boasts over a thousand years of history and is one of the most iconic ancient temples in Japan's Kanto region. The solemn and majestic main hall, dedicated to Fudo Myo-o, attracts millions of devotees and tourists annually for worship and blessings.

#cherryblossom25

#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.
