Around 1,200 friendly sika deer live in Nara Park. They are considered messengers of a deity and are protected as living national treasures. Anyone who wants to feed them can buy biscuits for 200 yen... but be careful, the deer immediately see who's holding a biscuit. From then on, you'll be surrounded by deer. Some will pinch or pull on your T-shirt. Some will even 'bow' to get a biscuit.
