Nara 6 spots
Nara is an old capital where about 1,700 wild deer (2026 count), a protected natural monument, roam fence-free through town — right up to the Great Buddha Hall of Todaiji, one of the largest wooden buildings in the world. It is one of the few places in Japan where a child can feed a wild animal from their own hand. It suits animal-loving kids and families who want to be amazed by scale.
