Itinerary
Omotesando Avenue of Naritasan Shinsho-ji Temple, still crowded with visitors to the temple today and in the past Omotesando (main approach) stretches approximately 800 meters from in front of Narita Station. It has flourished as a gate town since the Edo period (1603-1867) and still retains the vestiges of those days. More than 150 restaurants and souvenir stores line the approach to the temple! Enjoy gourmet foods such as the famous eel dishes and a wide selection of souvenirs.
Naritasan Shinsho-ji Temple has a history of more than 1080 years and is one of the most popular temples in Japan, attracting more than 10 million visitors annually. In addition to numerous halls, the spacious precincts include a park rich in nature, and a variety of power spots that are said to bring good fortune and improve one's luck. A variety of hands-on programs and red seal visits are also recommended. Let's heal both body and soul at Narita Pilgrimage, which has been worshipped by people since the Edo period.

About Narita
Narita, in Chiba Prefecture east of Tokyo, is a temple town beside the airport, known for the Shinshoji temple and its eel restaurants.
Narita is best known abroad for its international airport, but the town grew around the Naritasan Shinshoji temple, founded in 940, which draws pilgrims in large numbers. A complex of halls, a three-storey pagoda and gardens climbs a wooded hill. The approach from the station, Omotesando, is a street of old wooden shops and restaurants selling eel, pickles and sweets.
