Visiting Nara (奈良) In Japan—A Deer Theme Park and More

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:

• Yoshiki-en Garden (吉城園 / よしきえん) 
• Tōdai-ji (東大寺)
• Nigatsudo Hall (二月堂)
• Nara Park (奈良公園)
• Kasuga-taisha (春日大社)
• Sarusawa-ike Pond (猿沢池)

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.
