Deers in the City

#freehotelstay Nara Park is a gorgeous place to visit that is walking distance from the busy main station where there are many restaurants and a famous walking street. Entry is free and you are free to roam around the grounds or purchase some food for the deers. Money collected goes towards the caretaking of them. The deers are free roaming who seemed to be always hungry. Feeding the deers was such a fun activity. Once they see the biscuit in your hands, they will charge towards you. The deers can get quite aggressive so we put our child in her stroller as she was scared. Becareful if you have young kids with you. Also, do keep food and plastics away from them. We had a deer digging into our stroller basket as we had some leftover bread exposed. That shocked my little one and us. However the coolest thing about the deers are that if you bow to them, they will bow back to you! Besides the deers, Nara Park is filled with lots of culture and history with shrines and a huge pagoda right in the park. The area was tranquil and beautiful. Unfortunately we did not have much time to wander around longer. Nara Park is a absolute must visit as no other place has such a unique charm just right in the busyness of the town.
