【How to Interact with Deer】
The deer you encounter in Nara Park are designated as a national natural treasure and are wild animals. Avoid startling them or teasing them by pretending to give them deer crackers (shika senbei). Such actions can cause unexpected behavior and lead to conflicts with people. Additionally, do not feed them anything other than deer crackers and always take your trash with you to prevent the deer from accidentally eating it.
