Attractions Worth Visiting Near Tokyo
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.

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.

A walk around Narita city and Narita-san temple
#traveldiaries
Just a ten minute train ride from Narita Airport lies the Narita City, with a much quieter and less hectic ambience as compared to the airport.
To reach Narita-san Shinshoji temple, you will walk along a shopping street, Narita-san Omotesando which has around 100 over stores and restaurants selling various souvenirs, crafts and food. The Narita-san temple is a popular Buddhist temple built in the year 940.
Overall, the visit is quite interesting and good to visit if you have at least four or more hours of layover at Narita Airport.

We enjoyed our short visit in this temple. Despite of its weather we had fun seeing the old town with its historical temple and stores alongside the streets. I do suggest to visit this place during winter

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!

Short Trip @Narita nearby Airport
#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.

Narita-san Temple
Narita-san shinshō-ji is a buddhist temple just a few minutes walk from Narita station.
With a garden and park area in the temple compound,the place just feels so peaceful as you go about exploring the place.
Something about Pagodas that gets me mesmerized every single time.
My wish is to explore more Pagodas around japan in 2024

Perfect trip for a day stopover
#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.
