Noborioji Park
About
Noborioji Park is a welcoming, open green space that serves as a scenic gateway to Nara's main historical sites. Famous for the friendly, free-roaming Bowing Deer that gather under its mature trees, it offers a quieter alternative to the busier spots deeper in Nara Park. Visitors can expect beautiful seasonal foliage, picturesque views of nearby Kofuku-ji Temple, and a relaxing spot to rest.
Insider Tip
Buy deer crackers (shika-senbei) from nearby vendors here to feed the deer before the crowds thin them out deeper in the park.
