Nara Park, like Naramachi and Nishinokyo, is a must-see destination in Nara City. The large region of 660 hectares is known for its free-roaming deer and world-famous temples. 

Feeding the deer is an attraction in and of itself, and special crackers are on sale throughout the park. Traditional teahouses and shops offering snacks and souvenirs are available for human consumption.

How to reach Nara Park? 

As an Indian, you can book flights from major Indian cities (like Delhi or Mumbai) to Osaka (KIX). Alternatively, you can fly to Tokyo and take a domestic flight or bullet train to Osaka.

To get to Nara Park from Kansai International Airport (KIX) you can either take a train directly to Nara Station. The journey takes about 1-1.5 hours.

Alternatively, from Osaka or Kyoto, you can take the JR Yamatoji Line the Kintetsu Nara Line from Osaka, or the JR Nara Line from Kyoto. Both routes are about 35-50 minutes by train.
