Nara Park

Nara Park is a vast, historic public park famous for its hundreds of freely roaming, bowing sika deer, considered messengers of the Shinto gods. Beyond the wildlife, it houses world-class cultural treasures including the colossal Great Buddha at Todai-ji Temple and the Kasuga Taisha Shrine. It is an unmissable day trip from Osaka for anyone wanting to experience Japan's deep spiritual history and interact closely with nature.
