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!

A lovely street to stroll to the temple and gardens. Full of interesting shops where you can buy quality Japanese items to take home as souvenirs. Lots of choices for eating here, you can be adventurous too with eel if you want. There is a McDonalds in the railway station square at the start of the street if you want a coffee stop before you start your browsing the street. It is a sloping street downwards walk so allow sufficient time to walk back up the street if you have a particular bus time to meet. A lot of the local larger hotels in the area have complimentary shuttle services that pick up and drop off in the railway station square area which makes it handy to organise a visit to the temple, the gardens and this interesting street for a visit prior to your later flight out of Japan or your arrival in Japan.
