I was fortunate to have half a day in Narita during good weather. My airport hotel had a free shuttle to the Narita JR station and from there, I walked down the charming Omotesando Street, which has hosted businesses catering to temple visitors for centuries. Entrance to the temple complex is free. The grounds are quite extensive and contain a multitude of temples, some many centuries old, as well as gardens and woodland with shrines and statues, and a beautiful pond with healthy fish. There are vendors who sell amulets and offerings and the amulets make inexpensive souvenirs. I spent about 2.5 hours there and found it relaxing and restorative. This is a place of worship and several ceremonies were in progress. Visitors can attend but are asked to remove their shies when entering the temples and not to take photographs inside. The complex is hilly and the there are a lot of steps, so wear comfortable shoes. Most signs do not have an English translation, and there are no brochures, so if knowing every detail is important to you, ask for a guide who can speak English. The temple complex is a definite must see in Narita!

Naritasanji temple is a lovely temple situated in Narita town/village. Lots of steps to climb but if there is problem to walk,climb.on the side of the steps there is a lift one can use..it is well worth a visit easily accessible from the jr Narita station most hotels have shuttle bus service and there is a huge garden, lake alongside. Well worth a visit..the main village road leads to the temple and there are many shops for souvenirs and local delicacies and lots of restaurants..well worth a visit.

Impressive temple grounds and buildings. My husband saw a sign that they offer tours in English, which would be useful if you have time. Meanwhile, this is great place to walk around. We also enjoyed strolling main shopping street in town...far less crowded than tokyo, cute shops and restaurants, locals shopping produce. Time we'll spent before hopping on a plane.

This is a nice temple about 20-30 minutes walk from the Narita JR Station through a traditional Japanese street. It should be a nice walk if the weather is either not too hot or cold. The entrance to the temple is free and the buildings within the temple are historical and very nice, including the three-storied pagoda and the pagoda of peace. Next to the temple is the Naritasan Park which is scenic and very tranquil and worth a walk through.
