Naritasan Park

Reviewed By Kalleus - Finland, null

Had an early flight out from Narita Airport and was looking for places to visit and things to do during the evening before that. Didn't do much of research but came across this park and decided to head there. The park was a very pleasant surprise. Wandered around it for over an hour. Beautiful Japanese architecture combined with landscape garden elements. I visited in mid February and managed to catch plum blossoms in full bloom. Autumn colours will most likely look absolutely stunning in here. Also, If you're heading out of Japan and looking to pick up some souvenirs, there's plenty of vendors right outside the park area. This place has pretty much everything one could hope for. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Narita.

Mt. Nokogiri

Reviewed By ShiningSchnee - Hong Kong, China

Mount Nokogiri used to be a quarry, and on top of the hill there’s a centuries-old Buddhist retreat. If you are lucky to come on a fine day you can enjoy sweeping views of Tokyo Bay and even Mount Fuji in the vista.

This is a combination of a "historical site" and a movie set; as such not much of it is original or old, but it is all in the style of old. The Merchant's street evokes Japan during the Samurai times. It is a pleasant place to visit.

Yamato no Yu

Reviewed By anusalikir - Funafuti, Tuvalu

Had a 12 hour layover at Narita, and I think from now on I will try to get long layovers here because of this place. Incredibly peaceful with a nice selection of pools and a sauna. This place is top notch. Entry fee was very reasonable and once you’re in, you can soak indoors and outdoors, sauna, take a shower, read a book and sip tea with great views, and eat some great sushi upstairs. They also had an excellent sake and wine selection. 100% worth the short walk and train ride from the airport. Can’t say enough how relaxing and great this experience was.
