We went to Nara park three days ago and it was a wonderful trip! The deers are so polite to humans and will nod at you when you feed them. Also, we had a lot of fun in Kyoto. Great journey!
Nice day and gorgeous deer!

This tour was awesome! The highlight was definitely Nara Park, the deer are so funny and will actually bow for crackers you can buy. So cute!!!! Also got to see the famous Golden Pavilion in Kyoto, which was stunning. Our driver was really nice and made the whole day super easy. Totally worth it if you're short on time!
Highly recommended

A must-do experience when visiting Kyoto! The deer in Nara Park are very cute and even bow to people. My child fed one a deer cookie, and it nodded to my child in response. It was so charming!
