Naritasan Shinshoji Temple is a lead temple in the Chisan school of Shingon located in Narita, Chiba Prefecture. In order to suppress a revolt by Tairano Masakado which broke out in the Heian period, it began with the fact that Kobo Daishi was spiritually enlightened by the high priest Kancho as Acala was enshrined and became the principal image of worship at the temple. Many well-known figures had strong faith including such figures as Minamotono Yoritomo, Mito Mitsukuni and Ichikawa Danjuro, and Narita Fudo prompted many commoners to have faith. On the grounds of the temple, there are very big gardens maintained which cover an area of approximately 3.5 times that of Tokyo Dome, and you can see seasonal plants in the garden.

まだ新しいので綺麗、荘厳で華麗なお堂です。
ご本尊は薬師如来、病気平癒・健康長寿の祈願所とあります。
2017年開基1080年祭記念事業として建立された建物です。御本尊は薬師如来は、病を癒して苦痛を取り除き、寿命を延ばす功徳があるとして信仰されてきました。
まだ歴史は浅い場所ですが、多くの人が訪れる荘厳な雰囲気の場所でした。
総檜造りでピカピカなお堂です。
