Many thanks 🙇♂️, it's now added to my wishlist for my journey in March or April this year. ✌️😊 Do you know a site that has a calender for sakura festivals? Edit: I'm specifically travelling to Tohoku region, Iwate and Aomori prefectures... 🤗
It was actually my first time visiting Naritasan Omotesando and I can HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT! Definitely add it to your list, especially perfect for anyone with a short trip to Japan leaving/arriving from Narita Airport ✈
I have rarely seen any creators exploring Naritasan or even Chiba. It is really a nice experience. Also Emma and Sarah are amazing presenters and I love their energy❤
Can we just take a second and appreciate Emma and her glowing enthusiasm throughout every video over the years. Good vid ladies thank you for making me consistently hungry and letting me live vicariously through your obscure travels.
When I was in Japan in 2007 I accidentally booked my flight back a day later then my stay with my host family. I asked them if I could stay for another night but they kicked me out. So I went to Narita Airport to see if there is a airport hotel available. Unfortunately not, but the desk lady knew somebody who had a hotel in Narita. That's how I stumbled upon Narita. I was just walking a round to kill time until dinner when I came across Narita Shinsho-Ji. I had no idea it was there and it was such a magical day for me and the perfect final day in Japan. Can't wait to revisit Narita.
Naritasan is actually the place in Japan I know best, due to our 2 years living in the Chiba prefecture in the early 90’s. It was my go to park to relax in, and I loved the old style shops and sloping street down to the temple grounds. I would always take visiting family there. Then in 2016 when my daughter and I stopped for a 3 night stopover, we just based ourselves by Narita station to catch up with friends, and for me to show my daughter around Narita and parts of Chiba (we had already visited Japan for 2 weeks 2 years earlier but not gone here so this was a relaxing and easy time for us). We also had our daily coffee stop in the same sweet cafe. This is actually my first time seeing anyone vlog Narita since becoming active here on YT 4 years ago. It really does seem to be a hidden gem.
I went to Narita for my last 2 days during my first trip (just as Japan lifted their restriction on having travel agents) 'cause at that time I wouldn't know when my next trip to Japan would be. I wanted to experience a ryokan, but ryokan prices are insane in Tokyo, so I booked 2 nights at Narita instead. It was great; from the nature of Naritasan Park to the Omotesando area (bought some omiyage snacks and engraved chopsticks since they are lightweight and pretty cheap @ 700 yen each) to the Aeon Mall area, there were quite a number of things to do. Highly recommended to stay in Narita for at least a day if you can.
My wife and I are currently visiting Japan. Thanks to this video, we booked our first two nights in Narita. Neither of us had ever been to Narita City before beyond the airport, and my wife is from Japan! Narita is a great place to get over some jet lag before delving into the rest of Japan. Naritasan Omotesando and Naritasan Shinsho-ji (Buddhist temple) is a slow-paced alternative to Tokyo's Asakusa, and Naritasan Park is a wonderful respite. We stayed at a much cheaper hotel, and while the room was quite small it was decent. We will be spending our last night in Narita again. It will give us a chance for last-minute gifts and one final meal of delicious unagi. Thanks for the great idea!
Thank you ladies for the heads up on Naritasan. Will be flying into Narita in March for another visit. (IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!). Hotels in Japan seem very strict on 3pm check in. It Looks like a great place to spend a couple of hours here before heading into the city.
Its good to see you being surprised by things that are almost on your doorstep. It just goes to show there is way more to discover than you can ever imagine. great video
Discovering Narita has made leaving Japan so less hasslesome. Since many flights to Europe leave in the morning, you would have to wake up really early to get to the airport from Tokyo. But the last time we went, we spent the last night in Narita, which meant we could make our way from Tokyo at our leisure, and then explore Narita. And in the morning, the hotel shuttle took maybe 15 minutes. It’s a no-brainer, really.
On my second trip to Japan, due to a mix up I stayed overnight in Narita and spent the most wonderful day in Narita Omotesando area. The many traditional style shops are a snap shot of old Japan. Even if you had only a 24 hour stop over in Japan this would be the place to go to get a feel for the old Japan; and most people don't know about. When I was there, people had brought their bags, and back paksto the Shrine, to be blessed by the priest for success and prosperity, Very picturesque. Thanks for a great reminder. Cheers Muffy from Oz (Australia)
Thank you for sharing! It seems that to get the traditional Japan trip I want on a limited budget I need to experience Narita ❤❤ definitely putting on the list to visit
It's always a good day when I see a video from Tokyo Creative ❤️. I can't believe that such a beautiful place exists next to an airport. I can't even choose my favourite moment because there were so many of them 😍. Thank you for another excellent video 🫶
I have to say, I took Narita Airport for granted. I just used it as a cheaper way to travel (considering that you are buying the 7 day train ticket). Maybe next time I will explore it, It gave me the vibes from Kyoto and Tokyo combined. Plus it seems less crowded/cheaper than the other two destinations.
oo I would love to take a stroll in Naritasan park!, I could literally stay there forever and admire the beauty of the trees and the waterfall, it's wild that this place is next to the airport!
I learned about Naritasan a bunch of years ago and filed it away for when we fly into Narita next time… and of course we always landed in Haneda! Until this time!!! We booked the same hotel you stayed in two weeks ago and now I am even more excited for our last night in Japan! I bookmarked all the food stalls… can’t wait. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this! My husband and I accidentally booked our flights weird and so we’ll be nearby the last day of our trip. I look forward to visiting this place!
Thank you for the wonderful video. Will definitely pay a visit this coming July (Summer) before flying off from Narita. Most of my days in Japan will be in the Northern Alps Region of Toyama / Tateyama / Takayama for hiking and visiting places not forgetting Kurobe Gorge. From there will travel down to Hiroshima then back to TYO / NRT. Again, thanks for the invaluable tips and guidance. Without both of you, I didn't know this place exist nearby the airport.
Thank you for taking us with you on this date. I liked the part where Emma showed off her archery. 😘 I didn't go here either when I visited, but it looks fun. We did stop briefly in Chiba. I appreciate you Sarah for not being just a sugar addict. (I don't hate sugar, but my threshold for it is lower.)
That's the street that has a bunch of concrete animal sculptures along, right? We walked around there in our last trip back in 2018! xD Because we were staying close to Narita station... Even though most stores were closed when we went walking there, it was plenty fun. Nice to see it again!
I took my grandmother to Kintoki Amataro last spring and she loved it as she an old Japanese lady who’s favorite sweets are all traditionally and usually with anko, so surreal seeing a place I’ve been to covered in a UA-cam video haha
I had some time waiting for people coming into Narita airport and spent some time in Narita. I got to watch them cutting up the eel in a shop. There was also an ice carving matsuri at the shrine. It's a nice place to hang out waiting for a plane.
10 mins if you're not stuck in traffic. I was in Narita a month ago and it took 1 hour to get from ANA Crowne Plaza hotel to AEON Mall (heading the same direction as Naritasan Omotesando)
Ah,Unagi. A fish that is so very under appreciated in most of the world. It is a delicacy beyond delicacies! Also,and please forgive me for saying this,but my crush on Sarah continues! The red ribbon in her hair,it made me somehow float in the air!! I hope you don’t mind me saying such a thing. Ah,now I’m hungry,and I have no Unahi to eat! I have some salmon,red miso paste,egg,rice and seaweed,I’ll make a simple Japanese breakfast
14:50 Ppl: yeah it's so nice to have a raised tatami with the beds on it, great idea! Me when going to the bathroom in the middle of the night and tripping over both ways: yeah, not so much 🥲
You really know where to look, In fact, Chiba Prefecture is one of the most underrated tourist affairs, yet Kujukuri-hama is one of the longest and most beautiful beaches in Japan, a huge seaside town with horseback riding on the beach, surfing in some of the best waves in the world, and fishing in a variety of situations, and very close to Narita. There are also a crazy number of golf courses where you can play inexpensively with the best maintenance, including the Narita area. B&B-type accommodations are available for all but about a month in the summer, and you can enjoy the best seaside cuisine at unbeatable prices. Renting a car is even easier if you are staying for a longer period of time, as there are many large multi-purpose stores scattered throughout the area. Finally, I hope you enjoy the Japanese breads, sweets and soul food "ramen". It will be an experience you won't regret!
Loved the video especially the food review from Emma😄😍 I was wondering how the convenience stores in japan handle groceries that expire soon? In my country any grocery that is very close to the best buy date will be sold at least half the price.. how do japanese stores handle this?🤔
I always fly from/to Haneda so I'm at my families place in Shinagawa in 20mins, rather than 90 mins. But there are some pretty cool places you showed. Hankyu Dojo looks like great fun.
I've never been, and will be flying in from the US. Was thinking to stay here for a night when I first get in and tired and probably a bit fuzzy headed. Then stay in Tokyo before I leave, because shopping may happen. Or I've heard some people fly in to the air port in Osaka then out of Narita. Maybe I'd try that. Aieee it's overwhelming.
After watching this, I'm definitely making some imagawayaki soon. The question is do I get ripped off buying red bean paste or do I buy a cheap can of adzuki beans and make my own...might have to do that. Beans are healthy, but with a load of sugar and then baked into basically a Japanese Yorkshire pudding, that's going to be a week's worth of calories (because I'm making a batch and no, I'm not sharing them 😁). Totally worth it.
Don't want to fight Emma, she's 8 feet täll. Yet Sarah was if she didn't like the purple chip? Always great to see the Aussie duo! This looks almost like a hidden gem tbh, but i wonder how the airport connection is as you always have to leave at like 6am for Western Europe 😡 Those snacks for those prices will make up for it tho 😮😮
I have enjoyed visiting the Narita temple complex and I have stayed in the area. (Many years ago). But I just wanted to point out that hotel cost $300 USD in February and those dinners must have cost a couple hundred each. Japan is a great place to visit but one hardly has to blow a thousand dollars to enjoy one's last day and in the country.
What did you guys think of the Naritasan Omotesando area? ⛩
Many thanks 🙇♂️, it's now added to my wishlist for my journey in March or April this year. ✌️😊
Do you know a site that has a calender for sakura festivals?
Edit: I'm specifically travelling to Tohoku region, Iwate and Aomori prefectures... 🤗
I think it makes me want to go to Japan even more!
Never saw this area! This is absolutely lovely! I will add it to my to do list for sure! so many beautiful places to see!
Dangit, now i want to go there 😂
Had me at snacks for 1€/$, but that dinner 😮
I think it's a cool enough stop that I've modified my itinerary to linger here for a half day before flying out - thank you for the tips!!
It was actually my first time visiting Naritasan Omotesando and I can HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT! Definitely add it to your list, especially perfect for anyone with a short trip to Japan leaving/arriving from Narita Airport ✈
I think your gonna need to up your archery game Seera! your not gonna become a welsh longbowmen like that! :P
When you said you weren't good, you weren't kidding 😂
How much time I need to see something in Narita during my flight stepover ? I have 4 hours gap
Sarah dropping serious trivia, then trying to eat the decoration, the perfect symbiosis of smartness and crazy
I have rarely seen any creators exploring Naritasan or even Chiba. It is really a nice experience. Also Emma and Sarah are amazing presenters and I love their energy❤

I'm just gonna say it.. we need more Emma videos. Love her positive content. Sad to see her only on the TC channel at the moment.and not here own

Who knew there's much more in Narita than just the airport??? I'm SO AMAZED!!
It's the TC Power Team!
Like seriously, you guys always make me more energetic when you are together.
I went to Narita for my last 2 days during my first trip (just as Japan lifted their restriction on having travel agents) 'cause at that time I wouldn't know when my next trip to Japan would be.

I love the red ribbon in Sarah's hair, it reminds me of Kiki from Kiki's delivery service.🎀
My wife and I are currently visiting Japan. Thanks to this video, we booked our first two nights in Narita. Neither of us had ever been to Narita City before beyond the airport, and my wife is from Japan!

Watching it for the plot.
Shah you the man!!! ✊
❤❤❤
Thank you for the wonderful video.

Really nice looking decorated matcha! Emma seems to be natural archer!
It's MY favorite Ambassador of Japan

I always stay in the Richmond Hotel in town before flying out. It's such a lovely little town.
Next trip I take to Japan, will definitely spend the first few days in Narita and its surrounding area; looks so nice! Thanks for the video!
Yummy Japanese street food. Absolutely Outstanding
I am amazed! Narita is gorgeous
Awesome video! Thanks for showing us around the Narita area. So cool.
This genuinely seems like such a cool spot to check out!! Thanks for the video and recommendation!!!
8:18 The way Sarah just terminated the bit 😂
日本の地方にも沢山美味しい物があるので色々紹介してもらって嬉しいです。
I love Japanese towns and small cities ... like Uji ... but I just love Narita, it's so underrated.
I always stay overnight on my first day in Narita whenever I visit tokyo. A gem indeed! Next year imma try Hashira Cafe, looks yum ❤
Great video! Thanks
Emma is a natural at archery
I had some time waiting for people coming into Narita airport and spent some time in Narita. I got to watch them cutting up the eel in a shop. There was also an ice carving matsuri at the shrine. It's a nice place to hang out waiting for a plane.
Sweeeet little trip.
I love Narita area and Narita airport too❤
Wow, that's an amazing find! Will definitely visit on my next trip to Tokyo!
If only I knew, could've visit during my three hour layover.
This is a great video! Thanks for sharing!
Great vid....thanks
Greetings from San Bruno, CA - Narita is our sister city!
Yas Emma good job at the archery!
Great vid! Really entertaining and super informative
Much appreciated!
Narita is beautiful!
うなりくん、いいね～😊👍
イッツソーキュート！！
10 mins if you're not stuck in traffic. I was in Narita a month ago and it took 1 hour to get from ANA Crowne Plaza hotel to AEON Mall (heading the same direction as Naritasan Omotesando)
Awesome video 😁 you alls are beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I should check my schedule and see if I can visit Naritasan Omotesando before heading to the airport next month.
Interesting recommendation! 👍😋
The quality of your videos are really great! 😊
Yay, thank you!
Ah,Unagi.
A fish that is so very under appreciated in most of the world.
It is a delicacy beyond delicacies!
Also,and please forgive me for saying this,but my crush on Sarah continues!
The red ribbon in her hair,it made me somehow float in the air!!
I hope you don’t mind me saying such a thing.
Ah,now I’m hungry,and I have no Unahi to eat!
I have some salmon,red miso paste,egg,rice and seaweed,I’ll make a simple Japanese breakfast
my happy place.
Hoping to do this tomorrow. It looks like Narita Express trains during rush hour stop at Narita Station.🤞
I'm going here in two weeks🎉
Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you, what a wonderful place! It would have been good to find out what the rail links to the airport are like (frequency, price etc).
Emma might be an undercover assassin
14:50
Ppl: yeah it's so nice to have a raised tatami with the beds on it, great idea!
Me when going to the bathroom in the middle of the night and tripping over both ways: yeah, not so much 🥲
Unagi is great 👍🏽
Is Emma secretly an assassin archer?
Yenny 😆
Happy New Year!
In addition to Oobanyaki and Imagawa-yaki, some regions call it Fu-man (Fu-Fumanjyu - husband and wife buns).
They are exactly the same thing.
Nice👍

Greetings from Guadalajara México!! Come over to México!!
I'm kinda sad I never explored this area! I flew into and out of Narita but only spend a night there to catch my flight. Next time tho!!
Don't want to fight Emma, she's 8 feet täll. Yet Sarah was if she didn't like the purple chip? Always great to see the Aussie duo!

Did y'all get a new camera or something? Definitely looking Krispy
13:31 An Eelroplane! Oh come on it wasn't that bad!
2:05 We call them Mr Bean pancakes in Singapore, 'cause that brand is the main supplier of such pancakes everywhere. 😂
21:49
Emma! Wow
God Damn it!!! You’re so beautiful EMMA!!!
Wish you started the video on how to get there via public transpo
Wow. I am older than Narita.
From the wider angle, the boxes holding the wagyu looked coffin-shaped and I was wondering why.
I have enjoyed visiting the Narita temple complex and I have stayed in the area. (Many years ago). But I just wanted to point out that hotel cost $300 USD in February and those dinners must have cost a couple hundred each.
Japan is a great place to visit but one hardly has to blow a thousand dollars to enjoy one's last day and in the country.
Sarah - the archery form needs some work. I was worried for everyone’s safety in a 50m radius
Emma - well done
Been going trough Narita on a horse with no name...
成田空港から電車約１０分弱駅から徒歩約１５分、車なら約２０分。日本にいらしたらぜひお立ち寄りください。
4:06 a latte lattes
Tokidoki Everdeen over there
The video is so new that is was recorded next summer judging from the clothing 🤣🤣🤣🤣
