Message from Hiroko Furukawa

Nara Park, located in Nara, Japan, is a public park established in 1880 and home to over 1,200 wild sika deer. These deer were once considered sacred but are now protected as natural treasures. Visitors can feed them special deer crackers while enjoying the park's beautiful scenery. However, the growing deer population has led to concerns about environmental damage and crop destruction, prompting discussions about culling. Despite these challenges, Nara Park remains a popular destination for tourists and locals alike.
