Nara Park : ウィキペディア英語版
Nara Park

is a public park located in the city of Nara, Japan, at the foot of Mount Wakakusa, established in 1880. Administratively, the park is under the control of Nara Prefecture. The park is one of the "Places of Scenic Beauty" designated by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). Over 1,200 wild sika deer ( or ''shika'') freely roaming around in the park are also under designation of MEXT, classified as natural treasure. While the official size of the park is about 502 hectare, the area including the grounds of Tōdai-ji, Kōfuku-ji, and Kasuga Shrine, which are either on the edge or surrounded by Nara Park, is as large as 660 ha.
Jinrikisha (, or rickshaw) services can be found near the entrances to popular sites as Tōdai-ji or Kōfuku-ji.
While Nara Park is usually associated with the broad areas of the temples and the park proper, previously private gardens are now open to public. These gardens make use of the temple buildings as adjunct features of their landscapes.
The park is home to the Nara National Museum and Todai-ji, where the largest wooden building in the world houses a 50' tall statue of Buddha.〔''Frommer's Japan 8th Edition'' (2006)〕
==Deer==

According to local folklore, deer from this area were considered sacred due to a visit from Takemikazuchi-no-mikoto, one of the four gods of Kasuga Shrine.〔''Fodor's Japan 18th Edition'' (2007)〕 He was said to have been invited from Kashima, Ibaraki,〔(【引用サイトリンク】author = Noburu Ogata )〕 and appeared on Mt. Mikasa-yama riding a white deer. From that point, the deer were considered divine and sacred by both Kasuga Shrine and Kōfuku-ji.〔 Killing one of these sacred deer was a capital offense punishable by death up until 1637, the last recorded date of a breach of that law.〔
After World War II, the deer were officially stripped of their sacred/divine status,〔 and were instead designated as national treasures and are protected as such. Today, visitors can purchase "deer-crackers" ( ''Shika-senbei'') to feed the deer in the park. These crackers are exclusively sold by the WNOW company.〔
