Train station fountain. Nara is famous for it’s deer, specifically if you have treats for them, they will bow to you for them. This is also the day we met up with our friends who were also in Japan but were doing there own thing. Chase, Vikki (on their honeymoon as well), Rian (third wheel), and Katie (was there for fun for a week)
Deer just taking over the sidewalk, there are a lot.
They’ll bow to get a treat. There are places to buy these crackers for them.
They’re VERY hungry though. They will headbutt you and eat your shirts/pants in hopes to find treats.
And kinda weird. But cute.
Kodaiji Temple entrance, a large Buddhist temple. Giant statues.
This deer… STOLE A MAP, and this poor security guard was doing his best to chase after this <youth? gremlin?>
Temple main building. Apparently it used to be larger but it burned down twice.
Statues inside. We were encouraged to take photos.
Ramen for lunch at a small cafe nearby.
Other temple of some name
Who are these losers
Made our way to a free garden.
I think this is where the tea ceremonies are held.
Stunning beauty (I dont know what is going on here)
Cute couple (Friendship)
Some random things on the way back, we got mochi with everyone before we separated.
Wrap it up with more kura sushi because we were kind of getting travel tired by now.
