About Naritasan Omotesando ― how to enjoy a walk

A 800 m approach from Narita Station to the Shinshoji main gate, lined with long-standing shops preserving Edo-period atmosphere. Famous for unagi specialists, Yoneya sweets and Kinshi-no-Sato — a foodie and souvenir route.

A one-way walk takes about 15 minutes, but with shop hopping it stretches to 1–2 hours. The street is narrow, so early morning or late afternoon is best on weekends and holidays.

Smoking rules and things to watch around Naritasan Omotesando
