🦌 Nara Park｜A walk in the ancient capital with sika deer

📍 Location The Shibaji-cho and Nobori-oji-cho areas of Nara City, Nara Prefecture (including Todai-ji Temple, Kasuga Taisha Shrine, Kofuku-ji Temple, etc.) ⸻ 🚉 Transportation • From Osaka: Take the Kintetsu Nara Line to Kintetsu Nara Station and walk about 5 minutes to Nara Park. • From Kyoto: You can take the JR Nara Line to JR Nara Station and then walk for about 15 minutes or take a bus to get there. • Transportation within the park: It is recommended to explore on foot, or you can rent a bicycle or take a sightseeing bus. ⸻ 📝 Personal experience When you come to Nara Park, the most impressive thing is of course the sika deer walking freely in the park. They are not afraid of people at all. When they see you holding Deer Crackers in your hand, they will approach you actively. Some will even bow to beg for food. It's so cute! The entire park area is very vast, lush greenery and combined with history and culture. The huge Buddha statue in Todaiji Temple is shocking, while the vermilion buildings of Kasuga Taisha Shrine exude a quiet and sacred atmosphere. This is a good place to take a slow walk and take photos, especially in the morning when there are not many people. The sun shines through the gaps in the trees, and the moment you coexist with the deer, you really feel like you are traveling through the tranquility of an ancient capital. If you want to avoid the crowds, it is recommended to avoid holidays or afternoon peak hours so that you can enjoy this charming place where nature and culture blend together more leisurely. #AprilDestinations2025 #OsakaItinerary #JapanTravel
