A large park where hundreds of friendly deer roam freely.
Address: Nara Park, Zoshicho, Nara
In local tradition, a deity rode into Nara on a white deer, so the deer of Nara have long been considered sacred messengers. Today they are protected as a national natural treasure.
More than 1,000 deer live in and around the park, many of which have learned to bow in return for crackers.
