A large public park in central Nara where approximately 1,200 freely roaming sika deer have lived alongside the city's residents and visitors for centuries. The deer, considered sacred messengers of the Shinto deity Takemikazuchi, wander through the park and its adjacent temple precincts unrestricted. Tōdai-ji and several other major historical monuments are set within or adjacent to the park grounds.
