    "This Super Sento (Japanese style relaxation-spa) is located in Narita City, Chiba Prefecture. It is divided into the ""Wa-no-Yu"" with a moxibustion bath and salt sauna, and the ""Yo-no- Yu"" with a mist sauna and power bath, and you can enjoy a total of 24 kinds of baths that switch daily between being men and women only. It also has a bedrock bath, restaurants and a healing space where you can relax after bathing, so you can rest your body and soul as much as you need."

    My wife and I plan a few extra hours at Narita, just to enjoy these baths. A quick train ride (2 stops on Keisei Line) and short walk permits a five hour layover to go very quickly. Very relaxing...

    Shibayama Nioson Kannonkyoji Temple has a long history, and tradition tells us that it was founded in 781. Its main object of worship is the Eleven-headed Kanzeon Bodhisattva. The companion image is Shibayama Nioson. Prayers offered here are said to benefit the pilgrim by granting protection from fire and theft and against bad luck. This temple was especially revered by firefighters in the Edo period (1603?1868). Within the temple precincts is the Shibayama Haniwa Museum, which displays haniwa (clay figurines) and other artifacts excavated from local burial mounds including Tonozuka / Himezuka (Prince mound / Princess mound).

    It is a long-established eel restaurant located on the road approaching Naritasan Shinshoji Temple. Every day, it is crowded with customers who come aiming to eat eel.
