Translation of Mt. Narita talisman pls

[bldrhouse]

Google responds to this as "Naritasan," but when I put that English back in I get kanji that don't match the three on the talisman.
I'd appreciate a more accurate translation for my collection records.

Thanks as always,
Zigy

Naritasan is not so much a translation as it's a transliteration of the kanji written there. It literally says, "Naritasan", which translates to Mt. Narita.

Is this where you got it?

DAIHONZAN NARITASAN (大本山成田山新勝寺) – 大本山成田山新勝寺

Thank you so much! I bought it at auction for my WWII collection; however when I do get to Japan (soon), I'll definitely go to the temple.
Would you know if the temple was damaged or destroyed during the war?
Thank you.

The temple is still going strong - if was damaged during the war, it certainly wasn't destroyed.
It's about a 20 minute walk from Narita station, which is less than 10 minutes by train from Narita airport.

Lothor, thanks for the good info.
Definitely worth the train and the walk.
