Favourite Cities and Hotels in Japan

The city that serves the main international airport of Tokyo is in actual fact, a decent tourist destination in Japan. Though most visitors pass through Narita on the way to the vast capital, the Chiba Prefecture city of 125,000 people has some charm. While the call of Tokyo will be impossible to resist after a day or two, Narita is not entirely devoid of allure.

Star attractions in the city include Shiseki Park, Fudoki no Oka Museum and the Museum of Aeronautical Science. Narita-san Shinsho Temple is a vital place of spiritual worship and the Chiba Botanical Gardens provide tranquil and exquisite escape. Important cultural events in Narita include the Taiko Drum Festival, Gion Festival and Buddhist Bon Festival. If you have time to kill before your flight out of Narita, soak up the unusual, subculture atmosphere at The Jetlag Club or Flyers Bar, where flight attendants mingle with business class regulars.

    Natty Narita

    Known as a mere stopover point because of its Greater Tokyo-servicing International Airport, Narita is home to some of the most relaxed and charming neighbourhoods in all of Japan. So if you’re looking for a breather from the hustle and bustle of the capital, this is the place to get it.

    Start your Narita trip looking back, at the National Museum of Japanese History. The museum traces the cultural growth of the country through extraordinary exhibitions. Then head to Boso Village, an open-air museum where you can get crafty at one of the traditional papermaking workshops and have a spot of tea.

    Don’t forget to explore the stack of temples in the town, either. One of the best is Katori Jingu, a Shinto shrine dating back to the 18th century. All up, Narita will have you enchanted with its quaint streets, polite locals and stunning natural setting. Tokyo who?

    Narita Events

    February brings Setsubun, a celebration of new spring season, and Shinsho-ji Temple hosts traditional Setsubun ritual, Mamemaki (bean throwing ceremony) to dispel evil spirit and bring in happiness. Think of it as spiritual exfoliation.

    The street surrounding Shinsho-ji Temple is transformed into a theatre for the Narita Taiko Festival in mid-April.

    The pretty Odori Hanami festival in April is quite a sight. Watch local women dance in their best kimonos under the blooming cherry blossoms.

    The biggest festival in town is July’s Gion Festival. Expect a massive parade with floats galore!

    The Chrysanthemum Festival in mid-October to mid-November is feast for the eyes and nose. The floral symbol of Japan’s autumn is pretty much inescapable at this time.

    When To Go

    Narita has distinct weather changes for each season. Expect chilly winters hitting an average of 5°C (41°F) and summers staying around the 26°C (79°F) mark.

    September to mid-October sees plenty rain, so pack the waterproofs!

    For the best chance of snow, visit Narita in February.

    Getting Around

    The Retro Bus service is awesome and very efficient. The ‘Town Circle Course’ route will take you to nearly all the major attractions. Plus, each bus comes equipped with monitors communicating tourist-style info in a few languages, including English. Winner!

    Aside from the ranks at the airport, taxis are pretty scarce. If you’re desperate, get your hotel to order one for you.
