Had an early flight out from Narita Airport and was looking for places to visit and things to do during the evening before that. Didn't do much of research but came across this park and decided to head there. The park was a very pleasant surprise. Wandered around it for over an hour. Beautiful Japanese architecture combined with landscape garden elements. I visited in mid February and managed to catch plum blossoms in full bloom. Autumn colours will most likely look absolutely stunning in here. Also, If you're heading out of Japan and looking to pick up some souvenirs, there's plenty of vendors right outside the park area. This place has pretty much everything one could hope for. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Narita.

This temple is known for its fire ritual, which is performed several times a day. Visitors wishing to know their fortunes can purchase paper oracles from vending machines located on the grounds or pay a visit to one of the local soothsayers.

Highly recommend a visit here, especially with a volunteer complimentary guide which can be provided by emailing prior the temple’s information centre desk (which is located in a building that houses a large cafe across the road from the temple site entrance) I had emailed them the evening before and they were able to provide an English speaking guide for me. The guide was lovely and had excellent English skills. I was the only participant so we were able to move quickly through the area with great explanations of the different purposes of each temple. We happened to be there for the fire prayer service in the main temple. You must be able to climb several steps for the tour but it was manageable. The tour made my visit to this attraction so much more meaningful and I’d highly recommend accessing a guide or tour here, it is a great place to visit and the surrounding gardens are very tranquil. Allow time to walk the 15 minute walk down or back to/from the temple from the Narita Railway Station, the shopping and interesting shops/eateries are so interesting it might take you longer than 15 minutes!

This is a great place to watch planes land at Narita Airport, as long as the wind is blowing the right way. If the planes are talking off towards this park then they are a big high by the time they fly overhead, but landings are great. No need for expensive zoom lenses, either, as the planes come in very close. I always appreciate how Japanese authorities go out of their way to create facilities to allow people to take photographs at or near airports, and this is no exception. A few years ago it was just a basic park space with a very small toilet, but today there is a gift shop and much more in the way of amenities. It is true that the road back to the airport can get busy so leave enough time to leave the area if you are on a schedule.

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.

Both United and Ana lounges are massive. Tons of room so you don't feel overcrowded. Both have Japanese beer on Japanese draft machines Long with sake. Ana Lounge has a sake station where you can try different bottles. Ana Lounge also has massage chairs and a smoking section. United has a fabulous shower facility located in the back of the lounge.

Not covered by the JR pass. Took the train direct from Keisei Narita (across the road from JR Narita) to Funabashi to visit the largest Daiso store in Japan. The store is right next to the station exit. The train was reasonably comfortable, reasonably quick (37 minutes) and reasonably priced (about 550 Yen). There is a good bakery inside the Keisei Narita station- helped the trip pass more pleasantly drinking coffee and munching on breakfast in preparation for the 7 floors of Daiso. The other direction of the train takes you into Narita airport which is a few minutes away.

My Tokyo hotel suggested taking the Willer coach to Narita airport and went to great lengths to book via telephone for me. However, the email and debit on my credit card did not come through in time so I assumed the difficult phone transaction had failed. I ended up getting to the bus terminal earlier than planned and jumped on a coach paying cash. I then saw my credit card had been charged and I did receive an email but it arrived late. It would have been fine if I'd waited and not got an earlier coach. I repied to the Japanese email in English, explaining the above and asking for a refund, not really expecting any success. I received a couple of prompt emails in response (in Japanese) which I translated a bit and replied as best I could in English. Totally surprised to find I then received a credit on my card and impressed that they could make sense of my enquiry and believed me as I had little proof I'd got an earlier coach and paid cash. Well done Willer. And the coach was fine - prompt, well sign posted and got to the airport exactly as planned. Can't think there's a better way to travel.

Easiest way to go to Aeon Mall Narita is taking a bus from your hotels around the area. Most hotels offer a shuttle bus to the mall or if you stay near Keisei-Narita station you cam take ‘ the pink bus’ at row No.1 in front of the station. The fare is Yen 210 per person. The bus will drop you in front of the mall. Please check time table at bus stop so you won’t miss the bus on the way back. Aeon mall has many restaurants inside and around for you to choose. I would recommend the tempura restaurant opposite of Starbucks. For Sushi, please walk outside crossing the parking lot and turn left walking along the footpath passing the big boy restaurant then you will reach the fresh Sushi restaurant. Highly recommended.
