What To Expect

Nara Park

Nara Park is famous for its hundreds of freely roaming sika deer, considered sacred and protected as national treasures. These friendly deer often approach visitors, especially if offered special deer crackers (shika senbei) sold throughout the park. The peaceful coexistence of wildlife, historic temples, and lush greenery makes it a uniquely charming experience.
