The deer lavish amiability on a tourist, and a figure I nod, and to ask for a deer rice cracker attracts popularity. When a small child has the bunch of the deer rice cracker, let’s warn you because I jump to join in it suddenly.

Nara Park does not have a fence or the gate, and I am always freed free for 24 hours for 365 days. In addition, I can watch it anytime throughout the year because the deer which is in the park is a wild animal. I am slightly fierce when I come across a deer at night!
