Attractions
The city of Narita, just on the outskirts of Tokyo, has a rich history dating back hundreds of thousands of years. Archaeologists have found stone tools around the airport, which have been dated back 300,000 years. While the Narita was heavily destroyed during the Second World War, the city was developed when a group of neighboring cities, Habu, Nakago, Kuzumi, Toyosumi, Toyama, and Kozu, merged together. Once Narita got city status in 1954, it quickly began to grow, especially with the creation of the airport.
One of the main roads through Narita is Omotesandō (表参道), and it is filled with over 150 newly renovated shops. This is a great opportunity to find something special to bring home to your friends and family from your amazing trip through Narita and Japan.
With the airport being the biggest employer of the region, the majority of Narita residents live in Narita New Town, inspired by what was being developed in London during the post war reconstruction. What was originally an agricultural town, Narita has dramatically changed from the airport into a city focused on transportation, logistics and tourism.
Museums
Japan is known for its beautiful calligraphy writing. Composing of strokes and lines, many people in Japan have learned to master the art of writing, ranging from school children to samurais, and nobles. To see some masterful pieces of writing considered to be the “supreme art form,” consider stopping at the Naritasan Museum of Calligraphy. Not only can you look at the pieces, but you can also go outside and walk through the beautiful garden, including a little pond, surrounding the building. Simply drive your rental car from Narita to experience this magical museum.
The Narita Yokan Archives Museum is where people should go if they want to dig deeper into the history of the surrounding Narita area. With a wide range of media platforms, this is a great way to see how life has developed over time not only through the region, Japan as a whole but also the rest of the world.

Narita is a mere 64 km away from Tokyo and care hire Narita makes that journey even easier. Tokyo is considered a mega city with a large metropolitan area and a large population. Despite being full of people, the city consistently ranks as one of the friendliest and cleanest cities. It also consistently ranks highly for safety and university/student life.
