City of Narita and Shinto Temple

We arrived at Narita airport at around 7 AM, and with only our carry-on luggage, we left the airport and caught a ten-minute ride to the city of Narita.
Amazed at the cleanliness and order, we indulged in some street food.



Roasted chestnuts and a cup of coffee.

We walked directly to the local Shinto temple, and it turned out to be an important day. A speaker, music, some sort of fire ritual, and a procession of priests. It was pretty amazing. Unfortunately, I captured most images on the Nikon, so I can't share right now. Here's a poster for the temple.




Here is a poster from the grounds of the temple - and it seems perfectly comprehensible to me . . . .


except do they exclude all dogs, or just terriers?

Now we are hanging out at Narita airport, waiting for a 2:30 flight. Here's how David feels:



The good news is that we will sleep in our own beds tonight!
