Tokyo / Narita Hotels

General Information

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.
