Deer’s breeding season is coming along in mid-May! The facility called ‘Rokuen’ usually keeps mothers and fawns in a safe place during this season to protect their welfare. However, between June 1 and 30, it will be welcoming all guests to give a sneak peek of mother deer and babies. Drop by and enjoy watching cute little ones walking around with mums, when visiting Kasugataisha Shrine!

Notes	鹿との付き合い方奈良公園で触れ合える鹿は、国の天然記念物であり、野生動物です。触ろうとむやみに驚かせたり、鹿せんべいをあげる振りをしてじらしたりすると、鹿が思わぬ行動をとり、人とのトラブルにつながることがありますのでご注意ください。また、鹿せんべい以外の食べ物は与えずに、鹿が誤って食べてしまわないように、必ずゴミはお持ち帰りください。奈良公園內的鹿為國家天然記念物，全是野生動物，請勿刻意驚嚇鹿或拿鹿煎餅戲弄鹿，以免鹿反擊。除了鹿煎餅以外，請勿餵食人類食物。為避免鹿誤食塑膠袋等垃圾，奈良公園內沒有垃圾桶，垃圾敬請帶走自行處理。 ■Protecting Nara’s Deer Unlike most deer in Japan, Nara’s deer live unusually close to humans. Because of this, it is necessary for us to exercise great caution in how we interact with the deer, in order to continue to coexisting peacefully with the deer of Nara Park. Please keep the following in mind as you make your visit to Nara. The deer cannot digest human food: please do not give it to them. Please be especially careful not to leaving behind plastic bags or other trash, as they may endanger the lives of deer upon accidental ingestion. To prevent this, trash cans are located throughout Nara Park. Please dispose of your trash properly in the bins, or carry it home with you.
