Naritasan Shinsho-ji (成田山新勝寺）Temple, Narita, Near Tokyo, Japan

Naritasan Shinsho-ji （成田山新勝寺）　Temple is located in Narita, near Tokyo, Japan. Narita is part of Chiba prefecture and the Tokyo International Airport is in Narita.

Naritasan Temple belongs to the Shingon Buddhist sect that was founded by the revered priest Kobo Daishi (Kukai). The temple itself was founded by Head Priest Kancho Daisojo in 940 A.D. The principal deity is called Fudomyo-o (Acalantha). The temple garden contains bronze statues of the disciples of the principal deity.

Naritasan temple is a very large temple with sprawling temple grounds and many auxiliary buildings and temples, some are very older than the main Hondo. The Hondo itself is a newer construction but the other buildings in the precincts like Komyo-do Hall, Shaka-do Hall and Gaku-do Hall are very old and designated as Important Cultural Properties by the Japanese government.

I urge, foreign travelers to eastern Japan, not to miss visiting this temple because it is closer to Tokyo and indeed a very beautiful temple.
