Locals' Secret: A Healing Journey to Unlock the Deer in Nara🦌

I didn't expect Nara to be so surprising! This quiet and comfortable town hides so much cuteness. According to the Shinto tradition, deer are regarded as messengers of gods and have been carefully protected for thousands of years. Those who harm them will face severe punishment. The deer here are not afraid of strangers at all. They always approach people at a slow pace, and may even nod slightly and look at you with moist eyes. But if you don't give them deer biscuits, they will sometimes "run wild" 😂 🚍Osaka→Nara From Kintetsu Namba Station, take the regular train to Kintetsu Nara Station. It costs 680 yen/40 minutes, and the limited express train costs 1,300 yen/33 minutes. ✅After arriving at the station, store your luggage first (large suitcase 900 yen/day), walk 15 minutes to Nara Park, and taste mochi on the way. 🌿Gameplay recommendation 📍Nara-cho: Wander through the old streets and alleys to experience the slow life of Nara. 📍Nara Park: This open park is a great place to feed deer🦌 Remember to be careful not to be surrounded by deer! 📍Todaiji Temple (600 yen, 7:30-17:30): It houses the world's largest wooden Buddha hall. Climbing up to the Nigatsudo Hall, you can get a panoramic view of Nara. The stone lanterns next to the stairs are a sacred place for filming. 📍Kasuga Taisha Shrine (500 yen, 6:30-17:30): Deer can be seen everywhere along the way, and you can take a break at the Mizutani Tea House at the end. 📍Wakakusa Mountain: It takes 15 minutes to reach Ichijenseme, and the whole round trip takes about 1 hour. It takes 30 minutes to walk down the mountain to return to the Kintetsu Station. 🚡Hidden gameplay: Ikoma Mountain Cat Cat Cable Car From Kintetsu Nara Station to Ikoma Station (20 minutes), then walk to Torii-mae Station to take the cable car (runs from 10:00 to 19:00 on weekends, closed on Thursdays). It is recommended to take the "Sunset Flyer" (500 yen) in the evening. The park will close later on October 14th. 💡Tips: Remember to bring wrapping paper when feeding the deer, as the deer can smell the scent; it is recommended to wear comfortable shoes when going to Wakakusa Mountain; if time is tight, you can give priority to the route of Nara Park → Todaiji Temple → Kasuga Taisha Shrine. #Osaka Itinerary
