Narita Tourist Pavilion — Attraction in Narita

We went there on a rainy day and it was awesome!

At 1pm, the Narita World Heritage UNESCO branch organize activities on the upper floors :

making kimono-clad paper dolls trying you hand at japanese calligraphy ikebana : flower arrangement with fresh seasonal flowers and plants traditional tea ceremony listening to and trying to play Koto (traditional japanese harp kind of instrument)
