成田山ーNarita-san(Jan.2019-No.1)

Strolling around Tokyo Japan - scenery of four seasons

I'm not so fluent at English. But I'd like to introduce the scenery of four seasons  and the everyday lives of people around Tokyo Japan.(Jan.8th.2019)

 Winter(Jan.2019)

1.成田山ーNarita-san  First visit a shrine or a temple at the beginning of the New Year

I went to Shinsyoji Temple in Narita City on Jan.3. The place is usually said Narita-san(Mt. Narita) by Japanese people and one of the spiritual power spots in Japan. The temple was constructed more than a thousand years ago.

Mt. Narita is located in Narita City north- east of Tokyo near the Narita Tokyo International Airport.

There are a lot of people who visit Shinsyoji Temple to pray for happiness and prosperity in the New Year.  I hear the number of visitors are about 3milions for the first three days of the New Year, and it is the second largest of Japan after Meiji Jingu Shrine in Tokyo.

Narita-san is famous for good broiled eel with special sweet sauce(Unagi-no-kabayaki) and beautiful gardens in the precincts. Many non-Japanese people are visiting Narita-san.
