Legend has it that in the 7th century, a deity descended upon the mountain behind Kasuga Taisha, arriving on the back of a deer. Because of this, deer have been revered as divine messengers in Nara since ancient times. Today, approximately 1,300 deer inhabit Nara Park, beloved by visitors from around the world. The opportunity to see these deer up close and take photos makes Nara Park a popular destination for families and people of all ages.
