\u2022 Be cautious when offering deer crackers (shika senbei) \ud83c\udf58<\/strong><\/p>\n

Multiple deer may rush toward you at once. Stay calm and feed them slowly from a safe distance.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before taking pictures, check behind you to make sure no deer are sneaking up\u2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

especially during the mating season, when deer may behave unpredictably.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Keep a safe distance and stay calm\u2014this is key to enjoying your kimono experience with Nara\u2019s deer \u2728<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every October (this year in November), Kasuga Taisha Shrine hosts a traditional event called the \u201cShika no Tsunokiri\u201d (Deer Antler-Cutting Ceremony) \ud83c\udfb5<\/strong><\/p>\n

Male deer can become aggressive during mating season, so their antlers are safely trimmed to prevent injuries to both tourists and the deer themselves.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This ritual is part of Nara\u2019s cultural heritage and a famous autumn tradition \u2763\u2763<\/strong><\/p>\n
