What other travelers are saying about Nara Park (Nara Deer Park)
Very cool experience being so up close and personal with deer. They are relatively well behaved, but please don't tease them with food, they may get aggressive in return. Also, make sure to watch your step around the area!
Sensational park featuring deer 🦌. There is wonderful nature, and of course the magnificent temples. All around, you see something inexplicably gorgeous. Truly stunning and phenomenal. The dazzling temples really are something spectacularly exquisite. Good day trip from Osaka.
An unforgettable experience. There are a lot of deer, waiting for special cookies (200 yen each). These animals are so smart that they bow to you in return. Calm, not aggressive, you can easily take a photo with them and pet them. Very pleasant impressions!
Nara Park is indeed a captivating place in Kyoto, and the sight of its numerous deer is truly emblematic of a unique facet of Japanese culture. Their seemingly polite behavior, often interpreted as bowing in gratitude when offered food, is quite remarkable and endearing to witness. The deer's healthy appearance and gentle demeanor are also striking, suggesting a commendable level of care and co-existence within the park environment.
It was wonderful going to Nara Park . This park is very widely spread connected with many museums & shrines . Main attraction is friendly 🦌 Deers & Todaiji Temple 🛕.
It’s great fun to play with deers . They are roaming all over the park . Even they cross the road . You can touch them , feed them . Deer food is available in shops there for 200 yen . One Deer 🦌 came to me & ate my icecream 🍦 😄
