Nara Deer Park is fun for kids! 🦌

#fallishere If you are in Osaka you might as well visit Nara Park where you can just relax and chill in the park. No entrance fee. Free to roam around and enjoy the company of cute deers. This part of the trip was so exhilarating. It's simply stunning. The whole experience was amazing. The open fields, the shrines, the deer, everything was beautiful. Recommended to explore the park further and enjoy the nature. Be prepared to walk at least 20k steps and wear comfortable shoes.

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

When you arrive, there is a beautiful little walkway to go through that reminds you of those magical forests you see in animes. The food is naturally amazing I definitely recommend the grilled unagi don (get the full portion for sure, the rice is the same but you get more eel) Japan, 〒630-8301 Nara, Takabatakecho, 1130 菊水楼 敷地内 #tripblazers #foodie

Travel to Nara in autumn 🇯🇵🍁

Last year i traveled to Nara for the first time. What I was most impressed about Nara is that it is extremely beautiful but not as crowded as Kyoto, so you can slowly enjoy the sceneries and take photos. And watching the sunset and sunrise with the deers is probably one of my best experiences. When travel to Nara don’t miss: 1. Nara Deer Park with the deers (the 2nd photo on my post) Nara's deer are the symbols of the city, and are famous across Japan. You can buy “shika senbei” in a convenient store in Naramachi to feed the deers. 2. Walking in Nara Deer Park and having lunch at Mizuya Chaya (水谷茶室) (the 1st photo on my post) 3. Watching autumn leaves in Hase-dera, Sakurai-shi (長谷寺) (the 3rd photo on my post) 4. Watching sunset from Wakakusa yama (若草山), this place is in Nara Deer Park #mytripvlog #celebratewithtrip #awesomepic #urbanexplorer #passionpassport #2023travelwish #奈良

Along with Fushimi Inari of Kyoto, this was one of the best religious place in Japan. The walk up to it is magical surrounded by forest, stone lanterns and of course, deer. The temple itself is not very large but worth the entrance fee as inside it is full of ornately decorated metal lanterns and there is a room where you can see them lit up. I also got lucky as a wedding ceremony was taking place so I got a bit of a taste for what that is like. Even though it is a bit far from the park entrance do not miss this if you're in Nara, not only is it worth the walk but the walk is part of the beauty. Very tranquil and relaxing to walk. Well suited to anyone who enjoys photography the area lends itself to the camera with interesting old trees and structures and contrasts. #givethanks #givethanks

Feeding the cute sika deer in Nara Park has become the most popular way to play in the area, but with the increase of tourists, the sika deer has become less docile, especially from the Nara Kintetsu Station to the National Museum, as long as the tourists bought it. Deer cake, immediately surrounded by deer, can not hide, because most sika deer have long antlers, do not want to lead to tragedy, it is best not to feed. If you want to revisit the warm feeding deer scene, it is recommended to go to Kasuga Taisha. It has been banned from cutting trees since the 9th century, so the virgin forest is well preserved, with moss-covered stone lamps. A quaint beauty. And the sika deer as the messenger of God is more solemn in this occasion. Antiquities and nature are perfectly matched in this quiet environment, which makes people feel comfortable and calm.

🇯🇵 Todai-Ji Temple

A lovely temple to visit and the views there are amazing. In the temple, they also have a tree hole for you to pass through. It is supposed to be the nostrils of the Buddha and if you can pass through then you will be able to seek enlightenment in your next life. This tree hole is pretty small and children can pass through easily. If you do a search, Todai-Ji temple will appear among the top hits for awesome views in Nara. Many years back, I would bring along my camera. Time fast forward and my phone camera can take nicer photos too. Bring whatever is suitable for you and make sure you have enough memories to capture everything at Todai-Ji temple. Japan reopened on 11 Oct and I will be there berry soon! #fallingforfall #tokyo #osaka #nara #japan #liveyourdreams #takethattrip

Toudaiji temple, established in 752 during the Nara period, stands as a testament to Japan's profound religious heritage. Dedicated to the spread of Buddhism, it was constructed under Emperor Shomu's patronage, reflecting the era's religious and political significance. The temple's profound history is evident in its enduring structures, which have witnessed the rise and fall of various dynasties, adding layers of cultural richness. Among the bustling herds of Sika deer that freely roam the temple grounds, they are seen as divine messengers, echoing the ancient reverence for these graceful creatures. However, their playful yet assertive nature is often experienced by visitors, as they eagerly approach anyone holding the iconic deer rice crackers, revealing a charming yet mischievous side as I am one of the victims who felt to their assault. The architectural wonders within the temple complex showcase a blend of traditional Japanese and Tang Dynasty Chinese styles, providing a glimpse into the cross-cultural influences prevalent during the Nara period. The grandeur of the colossal Great Buddha statue, a remarkable feat of engineering and devotion, leaves an indelible impression, exuding a sense of awe and spirituality. The knowledgeable and witty guide's anecdotes about the temple's past, cultural significance, and the intriguing legends surrounding the deer undoubtedly infuse the tour with a delightful charm, adding a touch of warmth and humor to the ancient sanctuary.

Embrace the grandeur of Todaiji Temple ‘NARA’

Todaiji Temple in Nara is indeed a remarkable example of Japanese Buddhist architecture, housing the Great Buddha statue, and is a profound symbol of spiritual greatness. #todaijitemple #naramagic #nara #buddhastatue #beautifuljapan#Naratravel #Japan
