Get ready to immerse yourself in the tranquility of Nara Park. This sprawling green oasis, nestled at the foot of Mount Wakakusa, is home to hundreds of free-roaming deer. Don't be surprised if a deer approaches you for a tasty treat! Each group receives a complimentary pack of deer crackers (200 yen value). The playful deer are known to be quite bold, so keep your snacks safe—they may try to snatch them right from your hands!
Feel free to wander and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. A stroll through the park will lead you to some of Nara's top cultural spots.

This impressive temple is home to the world’s largest wooden structure and the Great Buddha, a towering statue of Vairocana Buddha that stands over 15 meters tall. The vastness of the Great Buddha Hall is awe-inspiring, and the sight of this monumental statue is a must-see for anyone visiting Nara.

The peaceful ambiance is perfect for a reflective moment, and you might even spot a few deer wandering the grounds.
