Get up close and personal with the deer at Nara Park!

🦌 Nara is a city famous for its deer. If you're traveling to Japan, you must visit Nara Park, where you can get up close and personal with the wild deer and enjoy a rare moment of elegance. 🍁 The deer roam freely in Nara Park, a paradise for sika deer. Hundreds of wild sika deer live carefree on the grassy slopes, and the red leaves fall gracefully. It's a great time to get up close and personal with them and boost your happiness! ⛳ Features and tips: 1⃣️ Legend has it that the deer in Nara Park date back to 710 AD when Nara was the capital of Japan. The god Takemikazuchi rode a white deer to the present-day Kasuga-taisha Shrine, where he was worshipped as a guardian deity by the Fujiwara family. The deer have been breeding for over 1,300 years. 2️⃣ The park is home to over 1,200 wild sika deer, all of which are wild and designated as "natural national treasures" by the Japanese government. 3⃣️ The sika deer here have long lived in harmony with humans and are very gentle and intelligent. If you buy deer senbei crackers to feed them, they will come to you for food. Watching them eat is a delightful experience, like being in a fairy tale world. 4⃣️ When feeding the deer, take out one cracker at a time to avoid being surrounded by a herd of deer. 5⃣️ When taking photos with the deer, it's best to pose naturally. Teasing them or touching their antlers, heads, or tails may excite them and cause accidental injury. 6⃣️ The park covers an area of 5.25 square kilometers, with lush trees, fragrant flowers, exquisite gardens, unique shapes, and various ancient sites. It's one of the world's most famous parks, suitable for all seasons. 7⃣️ The park is easily accessible, just a 15-minute walk from Nara Station. 8⃣️ The park is open all day, and admission is free.
