5/5
One of my favorite experiences in Japan, Nara Park is home to hundreds of wild sika deer that roam freely and have become accustom to approaching visitors. Locals around the park sell wafer-like cookies to tourists that you can feed to the deer - and some deer have even learned to bow in order to receive a treat. Do be aware that the moment they see or hear food, the deer will swarm to the person who has it. My friend was eating ice cream and a deer literally got desperately up in her face trying to get a bite for himself. The video is pretty hilarious. This place makes for great selfies, but don't forget these are wild animals - be respectful of their space and their land.

    4/5Excellent

    Apart from of course the feline friends that roam around the park, it’s overall an extremely beautiful place to spend a cool winters morning, even when there is hardly any vegetation and the grass is dry and brown. My favourite activity was eating at this little udon restaurant perched at the edge of Sarusawa-Ike Pond, with a Starbucks on the other side. The famous mochi shop with the pounding chefs is just down the road leading away from the Starbucks. I want to walk up Wakakusayama Hill in Nara Park and see the whole city from the top, in the future.

    Nara park. all places filled with wild deer wondering around the park. you can feed them with biscuits that you can buy from the vendors. the deers can be aggressive so better be careful.

    Amazing place with beautiful color during Spring and Fall season. You can spend an entire in the park alone, it has a big loop that cover 3different shrines/temples with human friendly deer roaming free around the park

    It is worth a visit. It has cultural landscapes such as Spring Park. At the same time, Nara Park has a lot of fawns, which feel like a fawn bumping, very beautiful, elegant and cute. Suitable for people to feed it and feel its cute newness.

    amazing experience playing with deer. you can buy deer food for 200 yen and feed them. however they can be very aggressive. don’t go in winter as the park and deer are not as beautiful as in summer
