Narita

Narita City also has one of Japan's largest and most visited temples called Narita-san. This is a short walk from either Keisei Narita station or JR Narita station. On your way to the station, you will walk along Omotesando street, a street that brings you back to old Japan. Many traditional vendors are there and you will find many types of traditional Japanese foods and snacks too. Right behind Narita-san is a beautiful Japanese garden that is wonderful to visit during any season.
