Nara Park
After a three-hour trip on a bullet train to Kyoto, and a forty-minute ride on a limited express train to Nara, we are sightseeing!
We met T's Aunt and Uncle at the train station, and they showed us the town where they live, Nara.
"In Nara Park (which is HUGE, by the way), we wandered through the area taking in Temples and museums, and basking in the sun. All along the way there were deer roaming around, which Andrew loved! You could buy deer snacks at little snack stands throughout the park, and the deer were a little pushy about getting those snacks (or anything else they deemed food!).
Nara Park (Nara Koen) is a large, pleasant park in central Nara, established in 1880. It is the location of many of Nara's main attractions including Todaiji, Kasuga Taisha, Kofukuji and the Nara National Museum, a museum specialzed in Buddhist art.
The park is home to hundreds of freely roaming deer. Considered messengers of the gods in Shinto, Nara's deer have become a symbol of the city and have even been designated a National Treasure."
