Nara is one of a the most famous sightseeing area in japan. It is very historical city as kyoto. But nara is much older city in japan to compare with kyoto.
There is many temples, ancient tomb ............ and deers. In some case and some area, deers are tagged as harmful animal. Because they eat many agricultural products and skin of trees. However, in Nara, deers are protected by law in the nara local government. I dont remember very well, but because deers are pet of one of budda,
Deers can be stay freely. And some sellers who provide food for deers are around Todaiji (the largest daibutu in japan). Deers already know that tourists give foods to deers. So, deers come to tourists for getting foods, even if a tourist do not have any foods. And if deers detect that the tourist do not have any foods then deers stopping to come ^^;;; they know very well
Some people who has kids were worried to bring your kinds to around deers. Because deers have strong horns for fighting. However, basically, most deers that have strong feeling are cut there horns by Nara governent staff for safety. So, if you do not make big and noisy action to deers, most case you are not have problem. However, be careful your tourism map and guide book. Deers take your papers and eat......~_~;;;
