Tourists would usually buy crackers sold in the park specifically meant to feed the deer, however, as visitor numbers have plummeted in recent weeks, the deer seem to have no choice but to venture out of their territory to find something to eat. to eat.
Many photos and videos of the deer roaming the streets of Nara have surfaced on social media. People who responded in shock or amazement. Twitter user okadennis who posted a series of photos of the deer reported that the occasion was amusing.
