"🇬🇧 One of Nara´s symbols are its deer, which can be seen roaming around the park (a must visit!) 🦌
What shouldn't be forgotten is Nara´s old district town (Naramachi), which is full of traditional houses and local stores ✨

Here there are important temples and a huge park in which thousands of deer roam undisturbed.
