Hi, I’m Tabi!

Narita offers an old temple and approach streets as well as its airport. Start with the station-to-Naritasan area and plan Sakura-no-Yama as a separate trip.

This guide covers places within Narita, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

01 · EXPLORE

Three places to begin

Three places with different atmospheres. Start with the one that appeals to you instead of visiting them all.

A first-visit stop

02

A first-visit stop

Shinshoji Three-story Pagoda

成田山新勝寺三重塔

A three-story pagoda in Shinshoji’s grounds with colorful decoration and carving. Enjoy its exterior while respecting worshippers; do not assume interior access.

03

A first-visit stop

Sakura-no-Yama Park

成田市さくらの山

A park near the airport’s northern side for watching aircraft. Cherry blossoms are seasonal and aircraft movements depend on wind and operations. It is separate from Naritasan and is not directly attached to an airport terminal.

Getting there
Check buses and return services from the station or airport area

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try Narita station → Naritasan Shinshoji → the park entrance, taking breaks along the approach. Choose a manageable park section and keep airport sightseeing separate.

Check the walking route

Check actual distances and travel times on the map. This suggested walk is separate from your app movement record.

Before you set off

  • Check current entry rules, opening information and return transport.
  • Choose an outing suited to steps, slopes and weather.
  • Respect worship spaces and photography rules; check food ingredients at the shop.
