- Naritasan Omote Sando - Narita is a city near Narita Airport (formerly Tokyo New International Airport) in Chiba Prefecture, approximately 70 kilometers east of Tokyo. The city is renowned for its historic and expansive Buddhist temple, Naritasan Shinshoji Temple. After disembarking the train, enjoy a pleasant 15-minute walk to the temple. The narrow path is lined with traditional Japanese-style buildings, offering a charming glimpse into old Japan.
- Naritasan Shinsho-ji Temple - This Buddhist temple boasts a history of over 1,000 years and draws more than 10 million worshippers from across Japan annually. The main deity enshrined here is Fudō Myōō, believed to have been created by Kūkai, the renowned Buddhist monk who founded the Shingon sect in Japan.
The temple grounds feature many beautiful wooden structures, rich in traditional architecture. Witness the Goma-daki ritual, a sacred fire ceremony where monks burn wooden sticks as offerings while chanting powerful sutras, creating a deeply spiritual atmosphere.
- Naritasan Park - A vast park located on the hillside behind Naritasan Shinshoji Temple. With its beautiful streams and ponds nestled in the forest, it offers a serene and peaceful atmosphere.
- Naritasan Omote Sando - After exploring the temple and park, enjoy some local cuisine at a restaurant along the main street. Unagi (freshwater eel) is a local specialty in this area. The eel is simmered, then grilled, glazed with a special soy sauce–based sweet sauce, and served over steamed rice — it’s absolutely delicious! (lunch is optional)
- Narita - We will take a local train (Green Car) back to Tokyo Station, and the guide will escort you to your hotel. For guests picked up at Narita Airport, the guide will accompany you back to the airport from Narita Station.
