Nara Park - Nara, Japan

According to the legendary history of Kasuga Shrine, the god Takemikazuchi arrived in Nara on a white deer to guard the newly built capital of Heijo-kyo. [33] Since then, the deer have been regarded as heavenly animals, protecting the city and the country. [33]

Tame sika deer (also known as spotted deer or Japanese deer) roam through the town, especially in Nara Park. [26] [29] [34] [35] [36] In 2015, there were more than 1,200 sika deer in Nara. [34] [35] [36] Snack vendors sell sika senbei (deer crackers) to visitors so they can feed the deer. [34] [35] [36] Some deer have learned to bow in order to receive senbei from people. [
