Arrival & first deer encounter
Train from Kyoto/Osaka to Nara
Take the JR Nara Line or Kintetsu line from Kyoto or Osaka (approx. 45–60 min). The station is a short walk from Nara Park.
Tabi says
Kintetsu Nara Station is slightly closer to the park than JR Nara Station.
Nara Park & Deer Interaction
Meet the free-roaming deer of Nara Park, considered messengers of the gods. Purchase shika senbei (deer crackers) to feed them – a quintessential Nara experience.
Tabi says
Crackers are sold by vendors near the park; bow to the deer before feeding – they sometimes bow back.
