Half-Day Trip to Naritasan Shinshoji Temple

This time, I visited Naritasan Shinshoji Temple on a regular Monday. The temple grounds are quite expansive, and there are areas where you need to climb stairs. However, to my surprise, in places where the stairs are longer, there are elevators nearby, which is a great convenience for those who have difficulty walking!

Next to the temple is Naritasan Park, a scenic spot worth visiting if you still have the energy to walk around.

For lunch, I had the famous unagi (eel) rice at Kawatoyo Main Store. Luckily, I went on a weekday around 11 a.m., so there was no need to wait in line. The grilled eel had an amazing charcoal flavor. I originally wanted to try the eel tamagoyaki (Japanese omelet), but it was already sold out, so I opted for the eel chawanmushi (steamed egg custard) instead, which was also delicious!

If you have half a day before your flight, I highly recommend visiting this area!
