A trio of sika deer graze along the edge of one of the ponds in Nara Park in Nara, Japan. Sika deer also know as spotted deer or Japanese deer are native to East Asia. These deer are quite abundant in the park (over 1200 by some estimates) and are really quite tame, freely roaming among the many tourists that frequent the park. Nara Park is one of the oldest parks in Japan and is one of the designated "Places of Scenic Beauty" while the deer have been classified as a natural treasure.
Thanks to everyone for stopping by to view, fave, and comment.

The local deer at Nara Park are always on the hunt for crackers, they’ll even bow politely to visitors in hopes of a tasty snack.
Nara, Japan
Nara Park is a massive park at the foot of Mt. Wakakusa full of very playful and friendly deer. The natural setting includes temples set in unspoiled woods and a lake full of turtles and carp.
On my previous visit, in 1984, the the park was full of street stalls selling pink and blue, plastic blow up deer and the deer ate out of the rubbish bins - it was not a great memory. These days there are no bins and the only street stalls sell healthy deer "crackers" for the visitors to buy to feed to these lovely creatures.
The Todaiji Temple in Nara. Built in the late 17th century it was the third incarnation of the temple which dates back to the early middle ages. The previous one was a third bigger apparently but wooden structures have a habit of catching on fire, hence the rebuild. Nonetheless, until recently it held the record as the world's largest wholly wooden structure.
