Kasuganoenchi
About
Kasuganoenchi is a sprawling, scenic lawn within Nara Park that offers postcard-perfect views of Mount Wakakusa and the surrounding ancient forests. Unlike tighter temple pathways, this wide-open green space is the best spot to watch Nara's famous bowing deer graze peacefully and to enjoy a relaxed picnic. It is particularly spectacular during cherry blossom season when the pink canopy frames the landscape.
Insider Tip
Grab a bento box from Kintetsu-Nara Station to eat here, but guard your food closely as the resident deer are highly skilled picnic raiders.
