Narashino is home to the Yatsu Higata (谷津干潟), a protected wetlands for migratory birds. The spring and summer months see an increase of jellyfish and small crabs to the wetlands.
Also found in Narashino is the Yatsu Bara-en (谷津バラ園), a rose garden which displays over 6000 individual blossoms in May and October. The garden was founded with Yatsu Yūen (谷津遊園), an amusement park which was managed by Keisei Electric Railway and closed in 1982. When the park was closed, the city bought the garden, and has managed it since that time.
Three railway companies, East Japan Railway Company (JR East), Keisei Electric Railway and Shin-Keisei Electric Railway operate commuter railways in the city connecting it with the surronding areas.
