      Strolling along the park
      Spend 1/2 day here. once you reached the station, exit and take the 1 day pass that cost your Y500. Alternatively the tickets to NARA dear park is Y210 each way. The deer wont disappoint you as there's plenty of them. After Oct 2019, the cost of biscuit to feed the deer is Y200 instead of Y150. Plenty of temples around but you need good legs. Alternatively you can take the rickshaw for a small fee. For the muslims, there's a good halal outlet, PY Halal that offers 100% muslim food and the owner is pleasant. There an attached prayer room in the same restaurant. You wont miss it as it is where the shopping area is located.

      Up Close & Personal With The Deer
      It was an amazing experience for my family. People of all ages will love interacting with the deer at Nara Park. We bought 8 packets of food for the deer and the hungry deer finished them all. :) There are hundreds of deer roaming the streets and the park. And the icing on the cake is the deer bowing to you, asking for food. Superb!
