Omiyage - Nara

Prefecture: Nara City: Nara Unique Feature: deer

Local Connection:
Nara is most famous for being the ancient capital of Japan and home to the great Buddha of Todai-ji. More than 1,000 tame deer also wander throughout Nara Park as “messengers of the gods.” Visitors can buy little wafers to feed them but generally they aren’t picky eaters.
