12 days in Narita Itinerary

Pilgrims and aviators come to Narita, a town known during the Edo period for its temple, and now known primarily for its airport.

Venture out of the city with trips to Oarai-machi (Aqua World Ibaraki Prefectural Oarai Aquarium & Oarai Isosaki Shrine), Katori (Katori Jingu Shrine & Historic Old Town area in Sawara, Katori) and Hitachinaka (Nakaminato Fish Market & Hitachi Seaside Park). There's much more to do: steep yourself in history at Naritasan Shinsho-ji Temple, get to know the fascinating history of Semba Boadwalk, take your sightseeing to a higher altitude at Mount Tsukuba, and take in panoramic vistas at Narita International Airport Terminal 1.
