The green space around Nara Park (奈良公園) is essentially a big Deer Theme Park where wild deer(s) roam freely on the fields.

On 12/05/2016, I have visited Nara ⭐⭐(奈良).  In the whole day,  I've stopped by the following points of interest:
In this article, I'll share some photos of deer(s) taken on that day.

Deer Encounters


Deer(s) can be found in many places in Nara (奈良).  On that day, I have started from Kintetsu-Nara Station 近鉄奈良駅 and walked eastwards. On the way, I have stopped by Kofukuji (興福寺), Todaiji (東大寺), Nara Park (奈良公園) and Kasuga-taisha (春日大社).  Below photos are shown in the same order.
