Up Close with Deer at Nara Park

Address: 469 Zoshicho, Nara 630-8211, Nara Prefecture How to Get there: 5 minutes walk from the Kintetsu Nara Station Get up close to nature & the 1,000 over roaming deer at the famous Nara Park. This relaxing vast public park is also home to the famed Todaiji temple & more. We easily spend almost a full day here, just walking around the park admiring the deer, the scenery, and walking around the temples. Most of the deer are just grazing on grass in the park, but there will be some deer which stationed themselves just beside the Shika Senbei store keepers (rice crackers for deer). We bought 1 pack, and soon enough, we were approached by a deer for food. It's very cute how they bow to you when you give them the crackers. However, do note that sometimes, there will be a few deer coming to you for the crackers and may be a bit aggressive. Very interesting experience with feeding the deer & observation of them up close. #createwithtrip #naturewonder #japan
