Narita
Narita straddles the Negiko River in Chiba Prefecture, and its low-lying river corridor contrasts with the wooded rises of the Shimōsa Plateau. Cultivated fields, small river valleys and residential districts shape the wider area, giving the city a character beyond its role as an international transport hub. Narita is closely associated with Narita International Airport, while its older cultural centre is Naritasan Shinshōji, a Buddhist temple founded in 940. Omotesandō, the approach to the temple, is lined with shops and restaurants, many specialising in unagi eel. Temple tradition, airport infrastructure and agricultural outskirts all meet in this layered city east of Tokyo.

Narita occupies the Shimōsa Plateau in north-central Chiba Prefecture. Although closely associated with Narita International Airport, the city has an older centre shaped around Naritasan Shinshō-ji, a Buddhist temple founded in 940. Narita-san Omotesandō, the approach from the railway station to the temple, is lined with long-established shops and restaurants; grilled eel is a local specialty. The temple precinct contains extensive grounds and the Great Pagoda of Peace, while the wider city lies between metropolitan Tokyo and the rural reaches of the Bōsō Peninsula.

Chiba Prefecture occupies the Bōsō Peninsula on Japan’s Pacific coast. Its western shore faces Tokyo Bay, while the Pacific shapes the peninsula’s eastern and southern coasts; the Tone River marks much of its northern boundary. The prefecture combines Tokyo’s commuter cities with rice-growing countryside, fishing ports and beaches farther along the peninsula. Narita is home to Naritasan Shinshō-ji, a major Buddhist temple founded in 940, as well as Narita International Airport. Kujūkuri Beach follows a long sandy stretch of coast, and the Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line connects western Chiba with Kanagawa.
