Naritasan Shinshoji Temple | November Shichigosan Festival.

Shinshoji Temple, built in 938 AD, is located near Narita Airport and sits in Narita Mountain along with Narita Park. The Zen room is sheltered by green shade and ancient trees are intertwined. You can climb up the stairs or take the free elevator 🛗 to visit or pray. There is no such thing as entrance fees for temples in Japan. Around November 15th, you will find many young parents bringing their children to the shrine ⛩️ to worship. They are celebrating their children's Shichi-Go-San Festival. The girl in the picture is seven years old and her brother is three years old. This warm picture of the family was captured by the author on the steps [Askance]! 🚉Transportation strategy: Take JR to Narita Station, open Google Maps, and walk for 20 minutes (passing Omotesando, which has a flavor of Kyoto's Ninenzaka. It's fun to walk around)
