Nara Park is a large urban park located in Nara City, Nara Prefecture. The park is dotted with magnificent temples and shrines that have been designated as World Heritage sites, such as Todai-ji Temple and Kasuga Grand Shrine. Surrounding these cultural assets, vast greenery extends, welcoming visitors and strollers into the embrace of nature.
However, the greatest attraction of Nara Park is the wild deer that freely roam the park. Loved and protected by people since ancient times, these deer are friendly and their sight of eating food from your hand has become a unique sight of Nara. Encountering the deer at times, you will feel a mysterious sensation as if you have melded into nature.
Throughout the year, various annual events are held in Nara Park. In January, Setsubun, a traditional bean-throwing ceremony, takes place at Todai-ji Temple. On April 8th, sweet sake is served at each temple for the celebration of Buddha's birthday. These emotional events unique to the ancient capital provide a chance to experience history and culture nestled in nature. A stroll through Nara Park will surely leave lasting memories.
World Heritage sites harmonizing with nature, interaction with wild deer, and traditional annual events - Nara Park is a place where you can fully experience the essence of Japan's ancient capital. Why not visit once and experience the special time woven by this space?
