Feeding the deer in Nara

Nara Park is one of the must-see areas in Nara City. It is a nice place to see hundreds of deer roaming freely. Feeding the deer is one of the highlights when visiting the park. Some deer are aggresive tho, they will be chasing you if they smell the crackers, which you can buy around the park for 200 yen. When you bow your head to the deer, they bow back to you. Getting there: From Kyoto, take the JR Nara Line from Kyoto Station to JR Nara Station. Miyakoji rapid trains depart every 30 minutes, and the trip takes about 45 minutes one-way. It is covered by the JR Pass. Local trains are also available, but take an hour and fifteen minutes one-way. #kyototrip #nara #narapark #deer #tripmoments #tripinspired

Feeding deer in Nara.

Feeding deer in Nara.

Feeding deer is a lot of fun in Nara! As soon as I arrived at Nara Park, I was attracted by the deer all over the street. Look at them, they are leisurely and not afraid of people, just wandering around the roadside. I bought some deer crackers and planned to have close contact with these little guys. As soon as I took out the deer crackers, hey, these deer have a keen sense of smell and immediately surrounded me. I fed a fawn first, and it carefully bit the deer cracker. Its eyes seemed to say, "It's delicious, give me more!" I fed a few more, and they ate happily. Some even licked my hand with their tongues, which was ticklish and quite interesting. When feeding deer, you have to be careful. Some deer are greedy and will chase you. I was chased by a big deer all over the street, which made people around laugh. Feeding deer in Nara is so much fun. You can not only have close contact with deer but also feel the beauty of the harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. Next time you come to Nara, don't forget to try feeding deer. It will make you laugh!

Feeding deer in Nara, Japan is a great experience.

Feeding deer in Nara, Japan is a great experience.

📍Deer distribution: Deer can be found from Nara JR Station to Wakakusa Mountain. They roam on the grass, flower beds, and even on the road. 👍Most fun: They are not afraid of people, so you can take close-up photos with them. There are carts selling deer biscuits on the roadside, about 10 yuan a pack (200 yen). The deer's nose is very sensitive to biscuits. They will follow you, nudge you with their heads, and look at you with watery eyes, indicating that you should feed them. If you put the biscuits in your bag, they will nudge the bag and circle around you. 📝Tips: After you finish feeding the deer with the biscuits in your hand, when you open your hands to indicate to them that there is no more, they will slowly disperse. 🌟Highlights: There are many deer on the grass and under the trees in Nara Park. They are very leisurely. Some lie in the shade of the trees to cool off, and some bathe by the stream. There are also deer with a strong sense of work. They stand at the scenic spots where tourists take photos, pose, and cooperate with tourists for group photos. 📍Note: Some deer run into the temple and urinate at will. Be careful when walking, otherwise, you may step on deer droppings. ✅Must experience: At sunset, the deer gradually return to their nests. When they gather together, it is very spectacular. Feeding deer in Nara is a good experience.

Feeding Deers in Nara Park! 😆

Feeding Deers at Nara Park is an interesting experience. Nara Park is one of the largest and most beautiful parks in the city. It is so convenient that this site is walking distance from the metro station, and also it is close to other places of interest. The recommended sightseeing time is between one to two hours. Bring comfortable walking shoes because you will be likely moving around or standing for quite a long time. The place is full of very playful and friendly deer that you will love because they are really cute. Please only feed them with the food they sell in the park as those deers are sacred for them and it is a risk to give them any other food. Also plenty of water is essential to hydrate constantly as this place feels extreme hot if you visit in summer. Free access to locals ands tourists so don't worry about tickets. This place is open 24 hours. #createwithtrip #holidays #exploring #createwithtrip

🇯🇵 Nara deer park | Feeding crackers to well-mannered deer 🙇‍♂️

Most friendly deer in the world are in Nara! Yes you heard it right. In Nara, while enjoying the picturesque scenery, you can interact with deer by feeding them crackers, and guess what, they will bow for you 😄 The crackers were sold throughout the park, you can buy it easily near the park. Many deer will approach you eagerly and bow furiously if you are holding crackers 🤣 Rmb to head towards Todai-ji's main gate [3] then Todai-ji Temple [4] to witness one of the largest temples in Japan. If you arrive during hanami, do stop by Himuro Shrine[8] to capture beautifully weeping sakura tree. #nara #naradeer #narapark #kansai #japan #spring #sakura #todaiji #temple #shrine

Kyoto and Nara: 4-Day Cherry Blossom Guide 🌸 Detailed Cherry Blossom and Deer Feeding Plan

Kyoto and Nara: 4-Day Cherry Blossom Guide 🌸 Detailed Cherry Blossom and Deer Feeding Plan

Having been a cherry blossom enthusiast in Kyoto, I've compiled a few experiences for you. —— Here's the itinerary: ✅ Nara for 1 day: Jr Nara Station ➡ Saho River ➡ Nara Park 🌸 Saho River (Nara Station) The riverbanks are lined with Yoshino cherry trees. After arriving at JR Nara Station, it's recommended to take a taxi (a bit more than a hundred yuan). Tell the driver "sahokawa sakura," or simply show them the words "佐保川 の桜" enlarged, and they'll understand. 🌸 Nara Park Deer and cherry blossoms (Nara Park bus stop) After enjoying the cherry blossoms at Saho River, take a taxi back to Nara JR Station and then a bus to Nara Park, which takes about 10 minutes. The park is right at the bus stop, and you can buy deer biscuits to feed the deer. The autumn foliage season is also stunning. ——— ✅ Kyoto for 3 days 1️⃣ Day 1 (Yoshino cherry blossom viewing) Sewari-tei (Yawata Station) ➡ Fushimi Jukkoku-bune (Chushojima Station) ➡ Kamo River (Sanjo Keihan Station) 🌸 Sewari-tei (Yawata Station) Comparable to Japan's bustling spring festival, it's less crowded before 8 am. Follow the crowd after exiting the station; there are plenty of signs along the way. 🌸 Fushimi Jukkoku-bune (Chushojima Station) Tickets for the boat are usually unavailable on the day, so just enjoy the view. It wasn't very popular when I visited, but it's become a trendy cherry blossom spot in recent years. 🌸 Kamo River (Sanjo Keihan Station) Exit at Sanjo Keihan Station, and there's minimal walking. The riverbanks are lined with cherry trees, and there's always one tree just for you. It's recommended to visit in the evening for a beautiful view. 2️⃣ Day 2 (Weeping cherry blossom, Kyoto specialty) Daigoji Temple (Daigo Station) ➡ Kodaiji Temple, Kiyomizu Temple (Higashiyama Station) ➡ Hirano Shrine (Imadegawa Station) 🌸 Daigoji Temple (Daigo Station) You can take a taxi from the station, costing about half a hundred yuan. Tell the driver "daigoji sakura," and they'll understand immediately. Walking is also an option. Daigoji Temple is a cherry blossom haven, with stunning weeping cherry blossoms and a long blooming period. Even when Yoshino cherry trees haven't bloomed, you can see early-blooming weeping cherry blossoms here. There's a cherry blossom market every year, attracting many locals. 🌸 Kodaiji Temple, Kiyomizu Temple (Higashiyama Station) Ishibei-koji, Gion Yasaka, and Ninenzaka are all in this area, with many tour groups. It requires a lot of walking and uphill climbing. Kodaiji Temple has a single beautiful weeping cherry tree. Kiyomizu Temple is less impressive during cherry blossom season compared to autumn foliage. 🌸 Hirano Shrine (Imadegawa Station) There are outdoor cherry blossom markets at night, with various food stalls offering authentic Japanese flavors! There's some distance from the subway, so you might want to take a taxi, costing about half or a full hundred yuan. Tell the driver "hirano jinja," or show them the words "平野神社," and they'll understand. 3️⃣ Day 3 alternative (Arashiyama ➡ Philosopher's Path) 🌸 Arashiyama The area is vast, and you can spend a whole day exploring. The Arashiyama train is extremely popular, making tickets hard to get. However, I recommend visiting during the autumn foliage season, as the cherry blossom season in Arashiyama isn't as impressive. 🌸 Philosopher's Path It's most beautiful during the cherry blossom snow. Not as impressive as Nara's Saho River. ——— ✅ Other popular spots: Fushimi Inari Taisha, Kyoto Imperial Palace, Shijo Kawaramachi, Nijo Castle, etc. I find them average (just my personal opinion). #KyotoCherryBlossoms #KansaiCherryBlossomViewing #CherryBlossomSeason #KamoRiver #JapanTravel #KyotoTravel
