Nara

Part 6
Day 12 - Nara
Our day kicked off with feeding special crackers to some of the sika deer that roam Nara.
Apparently I wasn't fast enough for one of them, as he gave me a nip to hurry me up! :)

The deer are considered to be messengers of the gods and are allowed to roam freely.

Kasuga Taisha
We met some very polite deer here, who have learnt to bow for crackers.  I have created a video of our time in Japan, which is on my YouTube Channel and it includes a clip of the deers bowing.





We even managed to find a restaurant that catered for vegetarians.

After a delicious lunch we walked back through the town, 

to the station and back to Osaka for the night.
