✈️ This is all you need to know about historic Naritasan, which is just a short train ride from Narita International Airport. Naritasan Shinsho-ji Temple is one of Japan’s most venerated temples, boasting over 1,000 years of history. Behind the temple grounds is Naritasan Park, which hosts seasonal events and offers quintessential Japanese natural scenery all year round. The area is accessible via the Omotesando temple road, which starts from Narita Station. The local specialty is unagi eel dishes, but you can also try out a variety of street food along the way.
