Tobihino

※Unauthorized reproduction of images on this page is prohibited

Tobihino, located on the grounds of Kasugataisha Shrine, is a vast grassy area facing the main sando (approach) to the shrine. Here, you can see herds of deer playing freely. This is also where the Shika Yose (Deer Gathering) event is held, where the musical tones of a natural horn are used to bring the deer together in a specific location.
