 Tips about Nara Park

Nara Park is a beautiful park with a Buddhist temple and friendly deer. Highlights include feeding the deer and taking photos at the temple.

What to do: Visit the Buddhist temple, feed the deer, enjoy hikes and nature time away from the city.
What to eat: Enjoy local snacks, but be cautious as deer can get aggressive around food.
Tips to enhance your experience: Hide cookies to avoid being followed by deer, respect their space, and enjoy relaxing in the quiet areas of the park away from the crowds.
