The salespersons here are more majestic. Deer biscuits are sold open on the table. The deer lying next to them dare not grab them, but they will not be polite to the ones in your hands; 2️⃣ There are deer all the way from Nara Park➡️Kasuga Taisha➡️Todaiji➡️Wakakusa Mountain, so don't expect one pack of 🦌biscuits to be enough.
