Begin your Japanese exploration in Narita City, a captivating historical location that serves as the gateway to Japan. While many continue straight to Tokyo, a short stop in Narita offers a tranquil glimpse into the country’s authentic Edo-period past. This city, with its traditional character, is easily accessible from the airport via a brief train journey to Narita Station, making it an ideal first or final experience.
From Narita Station, you can stroll along the charming Naritasan Omotesando, a kilometre-long street where you will find shops selling regional crafts and have the chance to sample local delicacies like freshly grilled eel. This historical approach leads you to the magnificent Naritasan Shinshoji Temple. This highly popular Buddhist temple complex, founded in the 10th century, remains a vibrant centre of worship and culture. Explore the imposing structures and the peaceful Naritasan Park, an excellent spot for a leisurely walk through its seasonal gardens.
To delve further into Japanese heritage, visit the nearby Boso-no-Mura, an open-air museum that recreates a traditional Edo-period village, offering immersive craft workshops. Finally, for a unique perspective, stop at Sakura-no-Yama Hill, a picturesque park where you can relax and watch the aeroplanes take off and land at Narita Airport amidst stunning cherry blossoms in the spring.
