The most beautiful part of Nara Park is where you'll always spot tons of deer hanging out. There are also tables and benches where you can just chill and relax.

Tips:

Avoid buying crackers and feeding the deer that stand right next to the cart. Those deer are the most aggressive ones and are waiting for their prey 😈🤣 It might be fun for the first couple of minutes to run away from them, until they start bullying you more and more.

Buy those crackers whenever you spot a cart without any tough-looking deer hanging around and hide it right away. It's best to feed the extremely friendly and relaxed deer that hang out on the outskirts of the park.

Wearing comfortable shoes is recommended.
