Traveled about 1hr by train from Osaka to Nara to visit the Shinto Kasuga Taisa Shrine with its 3000 stone lanterns and the Todai-ji Buddist Temple 752AD a World Heritage site which houses the great Buddha. The dear roam freely in the park around the temples and tourist can feed them biscuits but they get a bit excited by this - see the warnings and Hollander being surrounded!
