Spots To See Deer

Nara Park

12 Reviews

A scenic spot of autumn leaves and deer. I went there for the first time, but there are more deer than I imagined. I was surprised to walk normally on the general road. I thought he was greeting me by shaking his head up and down, but it seems that it means give me deer rice crackers. I was healed by the wonderful scenery and the cute deer.

Mt. Wakakusa

6 Reviews

Top of Mt. Wakakusa commands the whole view of Nara Park and its city. From the late October, the leaves begin to turn their colors for autumn, and you can enjoy scenery becoming more and more beautiful. I took this picture in early November last year.

Itsukushima Shrine

16 Reviews

Many wild deer live in Miyajima, and they sometimes appear around Itsukushima Shrine. Not only deer, you see some wild birds such as herons and ducks. But, be careful not to be robbed your bag by deer!◎Ferry is available from a port near Miyajima-guchi Station. Most parking areas are located around Miyajima-guchi Station. But in the seasons of cherry blossoms and autumn leaves, Miyajima would be very crowded.

Zoos

Asahiyama Zoo

4 Reviews

We were thrilled with the animals we can see at close range. Don't forget winter clothes because it's still covered with snow partly. The Penguin Walk Show is must-see, which penguins walk very near us! What's more, I love this so lovely soft served ice cream!

Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens

Approximately 80 years since it started. Animals got together from all over the world live in the lush site. They work out the exhibitions to make it easy to learn the ecology of animals. It'll be an attractive spot for taking pictures.

Shikoku Aquarium

4 Reviews

The aquarium is a place where everyone from children to adults can relax and enjoy, with a large aquarium that looks great on social media and dolphin shows with the ocean in the background. One of the highlights of the Shikoku Aquarium is the light production inside the facility. The fantastic light production is like an extraordinary space. The ``Kannazuki View'' looking up at the aquarium is recommended.

The only aquarium in Yamagata prefecture. The appearance of various jellyfish floating is fantastic and soothing. In particular, the aquarium "Jellyfish Dream Theater" where about 10,000 moon jellyfish float is a masterpiece! It is a recommended sightseeing spot in Yamagata because it is full of attractions other than jellyfish such as sea lion shows and the admission fee is 1000 yen, which is a reasonable price. It is crowded on Saturdays and Sundays, so it is recommended to visit on weekdays or at the same time as the museum opens at 9 am.

According to one theory, this shrine enshrined Toyotama-hime who is a grandmother of the first Japanese Emperor Kammu, and known as a god for an easy delivery of baby. The scenery from the shrine is nice and cats living in Ogi-jima Island will give you a balm.◎A small hill overlooking the Seto Inland Sea. Whenever you visit, cats are napping here. You can arrive the shrine eventually when you walk around the Ogi Island without searching for, because there're some signboards all over the community.
