The Deer Garden is a deer protection facility located within Nara Park and operated by the Nara Deer Protection Foundation. It protects about 300 deer, including sick and injured ones, and aims to create an environment where people and deer can coexist. The brave ceremony of "Deer Antler Cutting" held in October is a traditional event that has been passed down for about 350 years to this day in the coexistence of deer and the people of Nara.
