General

Oh ! To be hungry is not a reason to eat so whatever! Well, for deer, paper is just like vegetable…I have heard stories they also happened to eat 10,000 JPY banknotes, unfortunate humans. Be careful, especially when they are hungry.

In French, we call this a « menu à la carte »! Carte=map…

Well…
Nara is well known, you might have understood, by its deer. In winter and in summer, even with shika senbei, food is getting rare for our friends. Humans help them to feed, on certain dates using acorns. They call deer for breakfast from 10:00 to 10:15 am using horns. And here, we can see an interesting spectacle. Here is a video to show you.

Go to 0’53 if you cannot wait.

Full-Day Guided Tour in a Japanese Mountain: Ikoma, Osakacover image

Full-Day Guided Tour in a Japanese Mountain: Ikoma, Osaka

Nara
8 hours

When tourists visit Kansai, they usually chose the major cities like Kobe, Osaka or Kyoto. Not so known by tourists, Ikoma is a quiet area a 20 minute train from Osaka. Mount Ikoma is in the middle of Kansai and is worth a little day to visit with me, certified interpreter-guide for Nara Prefecture. You can expect nature, retro city and amusement!
