This detailed walking tour video takes viewers along the route from JR Narita Station to Keisei Narita Station in Narita City, Chiba Prefecture. While many travelers are only familiar with Narita as the site of Japan’s international airport, this video showcases the vibrant streets, rich cultural heritage, and local businesses that make Narita town an attractive destination in its own right.

The journey begins at JR Narita Station (JR Narita Line) and quickly introduces viewers to a collection of unique local gems. Highlights include a statue of a famous Kabuki actor, the Roman Village Narita shopping area, traditional shops like Beans Fukuda-ya and Kintoki no Amataro-Yaki, pickled goods from Takasho Honten, fresh dango at Goto Dango-ya, and the Chomeisen sake shop. The area’s heritage shines through stops at historic temples and halls, including Naritasan Yakushi-do Hall, Naritasan Shinsho-ji Temple, the Three-Storied Pagoda, Shaka-do Hall, Gaku-do Hall, and the Great Pagoda of Peace.

Beyond its spiritual landmarks, Narita’s walkable town center features classic avenues like Denshamichi, park spaces such as Naritasan Park and Kuriyama Park, and railway tunnels reminiscent of the Seiso Electric Railway era. Cultural monuments dot the route—the haiku monuments for Basho Matsuo and Kyoshi Takahama, as well as statues honoring figures such as Iwakichi Koizumi and Miekichi Suzuki. The area is also known for unique local eats and cafes like HOUEI COFFEE, and you’ll catch the sight of the historic D51 609 locomotive at Kuriyama Park.

The walk ends at Keisei Narita Station, highlighting the accessibility and unique urban charm of Narita. Narita is more than just a transit hub—its combination of sacred sites, shops, and parks makes it a rewarding detour for travelers to Chiba Prefecture. Notable for Naritasan Shinsho-ji Temple, the area attracts worshippers and tourists alike, while its commercial streets offer a taste of local culture unavailable in the airport itself.
