Narita Is Not Just An Airport

Actually the airport was named for the small town,  just two train stops away. It's a charming little spot with a beautiful 1000 year old Buddhist Temple complex on a hill at the towns edge. My 10 hour layover there gave me plenty of time to go check it out. It was a welcome respite after a red eye from Saigon and before another one to LA. I actually fell asleep on a bench in the park like grounds that the temple in situated in. The main deity honored is Fudomyoo, remover of anxieties, banisher of evil, and saviour from oppression. I like that!
The Temple is a bout a 20 minute walk from the train station
