We were there on a 2nd week of December 2019. Took about an hour train ride to reach Maihama station, collect our tickets and headed to the entrance. Despite it was a Tuesday, there were lot of people headed to Disneyland (or Disneysea), tourists and local alike. We headed to the Tomorrowland first, managed to get fast tickets to 'Monster Inc' while we ride on the Star Tours. Space Mountain was closed while we were there. We managed to catch the Christmas Parade at 10.30, ate our lunch and waited for the Dreamin Up Parade at 1.20pm and the Night 'Dreamlights' Parade too. (Tip: get a seat 1 hour before the Parade starts). We didn't have luck on the Lottery for both the Shows (located in Tomorrowland), hence we skipped those. We queue up for the Dumbo Ride in Fantasyland and managed to ride on Big Thunder Mountain (about 40-45 minutes queue) and went for rides with less queues; Toon Park, Island raft, Treehouse, Western Railroad, Pirates of the Carribean. Towards late afternoon, we noticed the groups of tourists had left, we went back to Tomorrowland and ride on Buzzlightyear with lesser queue. After the Parade, we managed to stay for the fireworks far left from the castle-with-no-sphere-and-under-refurbishment.) All in all, we were filled with Disney vibe to the brim, especially so for my youngest boy, his first Disneyland trip!

I've only been to the parks in the US, but the people stating this is the BEST Disney park in the entire world, are not wrong. If you're a ride junky, short line person, or staunch american food eater, this might not be for you. However, I'd still recommend doing it One time in your life. the Japanese have created a massive sea side extravaganza. Never have I seen so many lands, and everything is so extravagant and big. From the Prometheus Volcano, hidden island, Arabia castles, Indiana Jones pyramid, Tower of Terror, Marine institute, Columbia ship, all these things are huge decorative items that dwarf the impact of the impact of the favored California Disneyland Castle. This place is magnfiicant on the eyes. ALSO, park prices are well less than HALF of American park prices. Worth the plane fair alone.

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!

Katori Jingu Shrine is amazing! I found out about this place through Katori's official English Facebook page, Little Edo Sawara. They talk about the history of the shrine and have amazing pictures (links below) and I had been wanting to come here for a while now! The path up to the shrine was beautiful and at the top of the path is this pond which reflects the nature around it. It was so peaceful and was such a nice place to relax. The shrine itself was black, which was really cool because I had never seen a black shrine before! There weren't too many people, which is a shame because it's a very nice shrine, but also kind of nice because it made it feel less touristy and more like the true traditional Japan, surrounded by nature. There were also deer behind the shrine! If you like to explore, there are all of these nooks and crannies to go through and you can discover all sorts of things, which was fun! Getting there, though, was a bit difficult. There are no trains or busses that really go there, so most people take taxis or walk, which takes about an hour from Sawara Station or Katori Station. I opted for walking so that I could see the countryside, but apparently, they offer electric bikes at the tourism association for 500 yen (not confirmed)! Anyways, highly recommend this place. *Little Edo Sawara Links* History: https://www.facebook.com/little.edo.sawara/posts/145728186809248 Autumn: https://www.facebook.com/little.edo.sawara/posts/153844135997653 Cherry Blossoms: https://www.facebook.com/little.edo.sawara/posts/222310249151041

Located right by the water. All shows were great. Killer whales were the best among the four. Lots of excitement and applause from the audience throughout the performance.

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.

Mount Nokogiri used to be a quarry, and on top of the hill there’s a centuries-old Buddhist retreat. If you are lucky to come on a fine day you can enjoy sweeping views of Tokyo Bay and even Mount Fuji in the vista.

While visiting Disneyland we ate all our meals here. The food was cheaper and had a much greater variety than in the park. There is also a lot of higher end shopping if you are into that sort of thing. It is an impressive mall and you can walk there in 10 minutes form the front gate of Disneyland. There is even a good, grocery store there.
