Visits

  • 2025-08-08: I had an overnight layover at Narita, but instead of staying at the airport, I decided to get a hotel in the nearest town, Narita. I was hoping to find the Green Pheasant there on my 5th try. Brilliantly, I forgot my binoculars at home and had to make do with a cheap pair that I found in the duty free shop. I arrived at the town as the day was winding down. I walked around a bit near the train station, and then went to sleep early with some jet lag. This caused me to wake up at 5 in the morning. The Naritasan Temple was about 20 minutes walk from the hotel. I went over there and walked around in the small forest next to a couple of ponds. Eventually, i found myself walking on a path next to a river that led back near the hotel. By the time 8AM rolled around, it must have been close to 100 degrees and humid. I spent a bit of time soaking in some air conditioning before heading back to the airport.
