Area Map

Naritasan Shinshoji Temple is a Buddhist temple built more than 1,000 years ago. Tens of thousands of visitors come to pray for business prosperity, success in life, better fortune or household safety throughout the year. The approaching road from JR Narita Station is always lively with many visitors and shops including restaurants, souvenir shops and pickle stores as well as the local specialty eel restaurants where the eels are cut and grilled in front of you. In the large precincts there are many facilities you may want to visit including Daihondo (the main hall of prayer), Shakado (a hall where a statue of Shakyamuni is enshurined) and Gakudo (a gallery where a number of votive picture tablets dedicated by celebrities of the Edo Period are displayed), so it is recommended to take your time and experience the ambience the historic temple gives you.
