Naritasan Shinshoji Temple, commonly known as Narita-san, is a famous Buddhist temple located in Narita City, Chiba Prefecture, Japan. It is one of the most significant and well-known temples in the country, particularly for its association with the Shingon sect of Japanese Buddhism. The temple was founded in 1700 and is dedicated to Fudo Myoo, the guardian deity of wisdom and protection.

Narita-san is renowned for its beautiful, expansive grounds, which feature a large main hall (Hondo), a five-story pagoda, and a serene Japanese garden. Visitors come to the temple not only for its spiritual significance but also for the peaceful atmosphere and stunning natural surroundings.

The temple is particularly popular among those seeking protection from misfortune and for those wishing to fulfill wishes related to success, health, and prosperity. It attracts millions of visitors every year, especially during New Year’s celebrations, when it becomes a center for "hatsumode" (the first shrine or temple visit of the year).

The temple complex also includes the Naritasan Park, which is a wonderful place to enjoy seasonal changes, particularly the cherry blossoms in spring and the autumn leaves. It is easily accessible from Narita Airport and is a popular destination for both locals and tourists.

Nezu Shrine is a historic Shinto shrine located in Bunkyō, Tokyo, Japan. It is known for its beautiful vermillion torii gates, reminiscent of Kyoto’s Fushimi Inari Shrine, and its lush gardens, especially during the azalea festival in spring.

The current buildings, which have remained intact since then, are a rare example of Edo-period shrine architecture.

Nezu Shrine is designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan and is famous for its tranquil atmosphere, making it a popular spot for both tourists and locals seeking a peaceful escape from the bustling city.
