The peaceful temple grounds are surrounded by deer that roam freely, adding a magical feel. With ancient trees, sacred halls, and rich cultural history, Todaiji offers a unique glimpse into Japan’s spiritual heart. It’s a must-see spot that leaves you in awe, whether you're a history buff or not.

Over a thousand of these gentle creatures wander the vast lawns and ancient temple grounds, often bowing to visitors in exchange for special deer crackers. Surrounded by historic sites like Todaiji Temple and Kasuga Shrine, the park blends nature, culture, and wildlife in a uniquely charming way. The peaceful atmosphere, shaded by tall trees and dotted with ponds, makes it perfect for a relaxing stroll. Meeting the sacred deer—considered messengers of the gods—is a magical, unforgettable part of any Nara visit.

    This was one of our favorite tours while we were in Japan. Our guide was so helpful and kind and we loved having the private vehicle for the day particularly since it was so hot and the air conditioning was such a relief. He showed us so many awesome places that we never would have found on our own and the tour even provided us with ice cold bottled drinks along the way. Would highly recommend!
