NARA PARK

Nara Park in Japan is a cultural and natural treasure, spanning over 1,200 acres at the foot of Mount Wakakusa. Established in 1880, it is renowned for its harmonious blend of history and natural beauty. The park is most famous for its population of over 1,000 freely roaming deer, considered sacred messengers of the Shinto gods. These friendly deer have become a symbol of the park, delighting visitors who can feed them special deer crackers available throughout the area.

Beyond the enchanting deer, Nara Park hosts several historically significant landmarks, including Todai-ji Temple, housing a colossal Buddha statue, and Kasuga Taisha Shrine with its lantern-lined pathways.
