Reindeer; The secret of goodness in the heart of Japan

Nara deer in Mount Wakakusa is one of the natural and cultural symbols of the Nara region in Japan. The deer lives freely around Nara Park as well as the slopes of the Vakakusa Mountains. Because of their historical and cultural relationship with the people of Nara, they are regarded as a symbol of pleasant and sacred. According to local beliefs, deer carry the messages of the gods and are therefore under special protection. These deer are easily communicating with tourists and feeding them.

Located in the center of Nara, Mount Wakakusa is one of the most important natural areas in the area. This mountain, which is covered in different seasons of the year, is an ideal place for walking and watching landscapes. In spring and summer, deer are often seen on the slopes of the mountain, and tourists can see the lives of these animals closely. In addition to the natural beauty, the area also hosts special cultural events and events that are often held around the mountain.
