Narita is a city located near Narita Airport (formerly known as Tokyo New International Airport) in Chiba Prefecture, about 70 kilometers east of Tokyo. The city is famous for its historic and expansive Buddhist temple, Naritasan Shinshoji Temple. After we get off the train, we’ll enjoy a pleasant 15-minute walk to the temple. The narrow path leading there is lined with many traditional Japanese-style buildings, offering a charming glimpse into old Japan.

The Buddhist temple has a history of over 1,000 years and attracts more than 10 million worshippers from across Japan each year.

The temple grounds feature many beautiful wooden structures, rich in traditional architecture. You can also 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.
