The main hall of the temple is majestic, and the splendid carvings in the inner sanctuary are a highlight of the temple. Nearby is the vast Naritasan Park, where visitors can enjoy the seasonal beauty of the area. The Niomon Gate and the three-story pagoda, both designated as important cultural properties, are also must-sees. Along the approach to the temple, there is a historic shopping street where visitors can enjoy local specialties after visiting the temple.

It has prospered as a temple town since the Edo period, and the remnants of that time still remain today, and the townscape, which is full of the Edo atmosphere, has been designated as a "Japanese Heritage Site." There are more than 150 restaurants and souvenir shops along the approach, where you can enjoy gourmet food such as the famous eel dish and a wide selection of souvenirs.
