Nara’s deer are the symbols of the city as there are over 1000 deers strolling freely around and are carefully protected as a natural treasure.
It has been said that Nara’s deer is the most polite and tame in the world and they have learnt to bow to the visitors for food. Participants of the tour are given 1 pack of rice crackers and have a chance to interact closely with the deer by feeding them at Mount Wakakusa.
