Chiba Taiei town

Taiei (大栄町, Taiei-machi) was a town located in Katori District, Chiba Prefecture, Japan. Taiei is located on Route 51 from Narita to Sawara. It has a very scenic countryside with views of the Narita International Airport runways and aircraft. At Raikodai there is a large industrial estate. Modern Taiei Town was established on February 11, 1955 through the merger of the villages of Shoei and Osuka. On March 27, 2006, Taiei, along with the town of Shimofusa (also from Katori District), was merged into the expanded city of Narita, and thus no longer exists as an independent municipality. In February 2006 (the last data available before its merger into Narita), the town had an estimated population of 12,507 and a population density of 247 persons per km². Its total area was 50.57 km².

Wat Paknam Japan
Wat Paknam Japan

Wat Paknam Japan (Thai: วัดปากน้ำญี่ปุ่น; Japanese: ワットパクナム日本別院) is the largest Thai Buddhist temple ('Wat') in Japan, located in Narita City, Chiba Prefecture. It was founded in 1998 as a branch temple of Wat Paknam, a temple in Thailand, to serve as a spiritual center for residents of Thai descent. Wat Paknam Japan has a vihāra and an ubosot built in authentic Thai style by carpenters invited from Thailand. Several times a year, thousands of Thai residents in Japan gather at the temple for festivals, during which Buddhist sermons and other events take place. The head temple Wat Paknam Bhasicharoen is a royal Buddhist temple located in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand. It was built in 1610 AD during the late Ayutthaya kingdom. In the 20th century, Wat Paknam expanded its focus to include international missionary work, with branches in various cities in the United States, New Zealand, India, and Japan. Established in 1998, the Japan branch of this Theravada Buddhist temple is the largest Thai temple in Japan, covering an area of approximately 2,000 tsubo (8,000 m2). It serves as the center of Theravada Buddhist beliefs for Thai residents in the Greater Tokyo Area and Japan. The branch offers all the facilities of a typical Thai temple, including an auditorium, a large dining hall, an ubosot hall, a vihāra hall, a bell tower, a garden, a monks' lodging building, and a general lodging building. The temple is staffed by five Thai Bhikkhu(male monks). Wat Paknam Japan is not only a religious facility, but also a place of exchange for Thai people living in Japan, and in cooperation with the Royal Thai Embassy in Japan, it also offers mobile consular services, training in Thai massage, and lessons in Thai cooking and Thai-style fruit carving.

Narita International Airport
Narita International Airport

Narita International Airport (Japanese: 成田国際空港, romanized: Narita Kokusai Kūkō) (IATA: NRT, ICAO: RJAA), also known as Tokyo-Narita, formerly and originally known as New Tokyo International Airport (新東京国際空港, Shin Tōkyō Kokusai Kūkō), is one of two international airports serving the Greater Tokyo Area, the other one being Haneda Airport (HND). It is about 60 kilometers (37 mi) east of central Tokyo in Narita, Chiba.The conceptualization of Narita was highly controversial and remains so to the present day, especially among local residents in the area. This has led to the Sanrizuka Struggle, stemming from the government's decision to construct the airport without consulting most residents in the area, as well as expropriating their lands in the process. Even after the airport was eventually completed, air traffic movements have been controlled under various noise related operating restrictions due to its direct proximity with residential neighborhoods, including a house with a farm that is located right in between the runways. As a result, the airport must be closed from 00:00 (12:00am) to 06:00 (6:00am) the next day to minimize the noise pollution impact around the airport.Narita is the busiest airport in Japan by international passenger and international cargo traffic. In 2018, Narita had 33.4 million international passengers and 2.2 million tonnes of international cargo. In 2018, Narita was also the second-busiest airport in Japan in terms of aircraft movements (after Haneda Airport in Tokyo) and the tenth-busiest air freight hub in the world. Its 4,000-meter (13,123 ft) main runway shares the record for longest runway in Japan with the second runway at Kansai International Airport in Osaka. Narita serves as the main international hub of Japan Airlines, All Nippon Airways and Nippon Cargo Airlines, and as a hub for low-cost carriers Jetstar Japan and Peach.
