A lovely street to stroll to the temple and gardens. Full of interesting shops where you can buy quality Japanese items to take home as souvenirs. Lots of choices for eating here, you can be adventurous too with eel if you want. There is a McDonalds in the railway station square at the start of the street if you want a coffee stop before you start your browsing the street. It is a sloping street downwards walk so allow sufficient time to walk back up the street if you have a particular bus time to meet. A lot of the local larger hotels in the area have complimentary shuttle services that pick up and drop off in the railway station square area which makes it handy to organise a visit to the temple, the gardens and this interesting street for a visit prior to your later flight out of Japan or your arrival in Japan.

A great walk down to Naritasan with typical restaurants, some typical Japanese restaurant and a few tourist shops as well. There is a mix of very old beautiful buidings and some new ones. I would recommend this walk. Not just for tourists...

We were quite surprised to find a street that reminds us of Kyoto's famous Kiyomizu-dera Slope only one station away from the Narita Airport.
The buildings of this 800m long shopping street get more traditional the deeper you go, and shops and stalls offer a variety of sweets and snacks to enjoy while walking towards the Naritasan Temple.
If it's your last day in Japan or you're staying near the airport make sure to check out Narita Omotesando.

I liked it here. Lots of traditional architecture with wooden shutters, pot plants outside and the scent of grilled eel. There are lots of restaurants, boutiques and craft places to have a look around. I would add though that a lot of it was closed on the Sunday we were there.

It is the road that leads to the main temple of Narita.
It is full of souvenir shops and restaurants with local specialties.
You will see traditional Japanese cooks cooking fish in a traditional way in front of your eyes and you will find beautiful things for gifts for your friends.
The whole experience is incredible
Even you stay in Tokyo, on your way leaving back to the airport, make a short stop in Narita.

Today I had the most wonderful experience of being dressed by 3 elderly Japanese stylists in a kimono. It was a fantastic experience. They let me choose my kimono and accessories and then they took photos.
They invited me to walk through the village in the traditional dress, and took me to the sweets factory across the road where I bought beautiful traditional sweet delicacies and then I was accompanied in the traditional garden out the back.
After we drank green tea.
It was a wonderful experience, and I met three beautiful and gently women who were proud to share their culture.
They asked for nothing in return, no money or favours.
They were simply sharing the beauty of their traditional dress and were very proud to show me a part of their village.
It really made my trip.
It is wonderful to get a true feel for a culture when you have so little time to experience it thoroughly!!
I'd definitely recommend this to each and every woman who visits Narita!!

If you have a long layover or time to burn before your flight, I would hit up this street.
We arrived at the airport the night before, checked our bags in the morning and headed down to the city of Narita. Our flight left at 5PM. We left our carry on baggage in lockers at the airport so we could travel light. I would recommend this approach. It gives you a relaxed last day in Japan and a chance to reduce your shortfall of Japanese omiyage (souvenir).
I am so glad we did this! Here is why.
The city of Narita is a 15 to 20 minute walk from JR Narita or Keisei Narita Stations. It is only a few stops from the Narita Airport on the train and only costs a few hundred yen (a few dollars). The street is next to the airport. Just follow the people and head downhill.
You will find lots of souvenirs. Some are priced right and many are over priced and targeted for tourists passing thru who don't want to walk more than 100 feet from the station. The further away from the station you go, the more reasonable the prices.
Do yourself a favor, skip all the stores and go farther down the street to the many flea markets. You will find cheaper new souvenirs. Better yet, you will find decently priced junk from peoples houses that are treasures back home.
I picked up a sweet looking, antique Hokkaido bear statue. It sat in someone's house on a shelf for 40 years and then came to the flea market and now it will sit on my shelf for 40 years. That makes it an antique, right? Who cares, it's awesome looking! I only paid $10 for this statue that new might cost $100 plus. It is one of those hand carved wooden Japanese brown bear statues. I passed up three others, but they cannot all fit in my bag. On top of that, the reason police (spouse), thinks two bears is enough for one house. Yes, I already had one. Wooden bears need friends too, right?
We also picked up a ton of smaller gifts from a variety of street vendors.
On that note. Beware the older women that run some of the tent shops. They might hound you and pester you to buy something. They are sweet and will negotiate a bit on price. Don't worry if you make an offer to an older gentlemen and he re-buffs you. It happens. Trust me. You will find cool gems here that are not made in China and sold at a 100 Yen store.
Along the way, you will also find a lot of temples to visit or peak into if you are not templed out from your trip to Japan.
Lots of small restaurants on this street with very friendly hosts.
This is a great spot for someone with at least 4 hours plus to burn at the airport. More time is better and you could spend most of a day there. Just factor in train time, train wait time and security check in time when returning so you do not miss your plane.
Some of the roads can be a little steep. So, if you are slow on hills, give yourself a bit more time or catch a taxi to the bottom of the street.
You can also catch a bus from the station or the airport to the local Aeon Mall. Boooooring! You can do that in the US. Hang out in the city of Narita. You will not regret it. Just put it on your travel checklist now.

For only 500 Yen (around 5.00 dollars) I got to try on a real kimono. In the old part of Narita, on the way to the Temple (a must see), there is a little alley and they have a sign out pointing to kimono try on. I thought, what the heck, might be fun. There were 3 or 4 little Japanese ladies there and they have tons of gorgeous kimonos to try on. I was there around an hour, it took at least 20 minutes for them to dress me up, I felt like a princess. They even do your hair. Then you get to take pictures inside and out. I highly recommend this. I think the tourist board sponsors it. They have men's kimonos as well. They are only open on Wed-Friday

between my first Narita Transit Program visit with volunteer guides in 2016Jun & my own return 2017Dec the amazing journey of new to old world is such a great experience for everyone with 2 hours or 3 to spare out of Narita Airport...
~I've downloaded nothing short of 6 paid apps (yes i paid) from city sights to maps to train & subway apps but there is one that impressed me more than everything combined it was more responsive with the fastest refresh and accuracy and it's free... just use Google Maps!
~from the Airport there are 2 trains you can hop on depending on the time, I've taken both the Keisei & the JR and their Narita town train stations are just 5 minutes apart so you can start your journey from the same way point... the Keisei does have a more scenic bridge to Omotesando Street
Let's start at the cross roads, get to McDonald's from both Keisei & JR Train Stations you'll easily spot it. you'll find the street sign for (green) Omotesando St. pointing left, (blue) Ipponmatsu-dori Ave. pointing right and (red) Shiyakusyo-dori Ave. pointing up ahead...
~go left down that narrow street and you're on your way
~if you wanna take the scenic route from the Keisei train station, take the WEST exit, cross the zebra crossing at "Time Light" store and go right, it's goes up and across a bridge into a narrow alley with some shops going up a gentle hill till you see the sign for Naritasan Shinshoji Temple 800m ahead (go right)
~ from a sleepy 10am stores start opening, there's gonna be many open air eateries already way into their mid morning business so look out for fresh chestnuts, fresh sea urchins, "unagi" fresh eels, fresh milk, fresh rice crackers!
~Fresh = you can see them being made out in the open
~the sushi, ramen, tempura shops open closer to lunch hours
~once I got to the end of the street typically the Naritasan Shinshoji Temple I'd turn back and grab a few snacks & you must try "Sake" ice cream!
~the shopping for souvenirs are plenty for locally produced knickknacks, I recommend the Kinomo shop and a place I buy "toe" socks with Japanese motifs :)
Every time I'd stopover at Edokkozushi for the LARGEst Nigiri/Sushi slices by the English speaking "Daisho" just yell out "DAISHO" when you enter and the sushi chef who responds to you in English is the one you'd order with
uploaded more than 100 photos for just the street experience along Omotesando :)
I super HIGHLY recommend a visit you won't wanna miss this part of Narita if you're ever in for a >3hrs layover

Hola,
En los siguientes meses tendré una conexión de aeropuerto Tokio Narita (llegando 1:00pm) a Haneda (sale 10:55pm) entre ese tiempo y considerando documentaciones y transados calculo que tendré libre 4hrs aprox. y me gustaría visitar la calle Omotesando y el Templo.
Entiendo que hay que llegar a la estación Keisei y caminar. ¿Cómo puedo llegar del aeropuerto a esa estación? ¿Cuánto tiempo me tomaría?
Después tendrá que ir hacia el aeropuerto en Haneda, creo que tendría que regresar al aeropuerto Narita para tomar un autobús hacia el aeropuerto?
Me podrían orientar si alguien ha hecho este recorrido por favor?, supongo que en el aeropuerto hablan o hay letreros en inglés?
Muchas gracias!!

Save yourself time and headache and preplan a tour. I used Rainbow Tours and it was well worth it.
Walked out of the airport, and Sumi was waiting for us. He drove us around and then returned us to their airport. Plus he knew the area really well.
Hi, my sister and I are planning to go to South Korea and might take the flight which has a 12 hours layover in Narita airport, so we plan to visit this town. Do we need a Japan rail pass to use the trains to reach this town or can we just buy tickets at the train station? We're planning to get transit visas only. And is using cab service from the airport to this town and vice versa advisable?

I should be clear. If you are a US citizen you will not need a visa.
I would highly recommend a tour for Narita as you will need transportation to see it properly and using cabs to hop from place to place will not be enjoyable, or practical and you will miss a lot of the countryside.

How far is Naritasan Omote Sando from the Narita Excel Hotel Tokyu? Is it possible to walk there and to the temple?

It's not possible to walk from the location to Narita san shinshoji.
As it's quite a distance away.
To walk is 46 mins.
For car is 9 mins.
If you take cab from your hotel to Naritasan Shinshoji Temple, the price is about 1765YEN.
Best to ask the hotel, whether they provide free transport to the Narita san Shinshoji.
If you want to take bus, is about 30 mins. This way, you will need to do some walking before reach the destination.

HI, We are going to be staying at Hotel Nikko for one night between flights, in January 2016 and will not arrive until 6pm.The temple closes at 4pm but I wondered if the restaurants (and shops) in the Omoto Sando area might be open in the evening as an alterntive to eating in the hotel that night.
It appears to be only 12 minutes drive away by bus or taxi.
Any advice appreciated.

Yes there will be places to dine. As mentioned in another answer very popular with airline crews. Also more interesting and much cheaper than eating at your hotel. Enjoy.

Dear Sir,
I recently visited the wonderful street in (Old) Narita. I purchased several items but my favorite was taken at the airport . It was the delicious honey from the store in town. Do you know the name of the store? I would like to order replacements . Thank you for any help!

In the middle of Omote Sando, there is a community hall called, "Fureai-Kan" in Japanese. When the kimono session is on, there will be a little signboard on the pavement. They are only on Wednesday and Friday, but if you call them up for a certain day, they might be able to accommodate.
phone number is 080-3411-0238. Name of the organisation is Hospitality Narita, a non-profit organization.
