Enjoy an early family lunch of the gateway's signature eel rice bowl
About this spot
A long-established eel specialist founded in the Meiji era. At the shop's distinctive wooden building facade, you can watch craftsmen fillet and grill eel up close. The fluffy, fragrant eel rice bowl is a classic treat for temple visits to Narita. Single-item menu options are easy to share with children, and the restaurant has long been loved by families.
Tips
Expect lines on weekends. The shop uses a ticket system where you write your name on a registration sheet at the counter, so registering before your temple visit can shorten wait times. The first-floor seating offers a view of the live cooking demonstration and is popular with children.
Best time to visit
Allow 60–90 minutes. Right after opening around 11 a.m. is your best bet.
