⛄Here is an information of an event held in Nara in winter⛄

 

Approximately 1,300 wild deer 🦌 live in Nara Park.

The deer are worshiped as the messengers of the gods at Kasuga Taisha Shrine.

The deer have been protected with care in Nara for over 1,250 years and

have mostly lost their fear of people.

They will bow to you because they want to have the special crackers

that tourists can purchase in the park.

There is an event called “Shika-yose” near Kasuga Taisha Shrine.

It is said that “Shika-yose”started about 130 years ago.

Shika-yose is held at the place called Tobihino on the south side

of the approach to Kasuga Taisha Shrine.

When the natural horn starts blowing, the sound of the horn attracts many deer from the deep forest.

The deer are given acorns as a reward.

This is a peaceful scene that can only be seen in Nara.

You are welcomed to experience this peaceful scene surrounded by the crisp, clear morning air.

It is held every winter from January to February for tourists.

It will be held on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.

You can see “Shika-yose” for free for about 15 minutes from 10am.

 

Please come to Nara to meet the cute deer on a clear winter morning!

Directions: Take the city loop bus from JR Nara Station or Kintetsu Nara Station

and get off at 「Kasugataisha Omotesando」stop to see winter deer gathering.

After walking around Nara, please drop in Waplus Tea ceremony shop

for the tea ceremony and Japanese calligraphy experience.

Of course you can also wear a kimono !

We are looking forward to your visit!
