Nara Park

Nara Park is the largest of its kind in Japan (1300ac). Within the park, finely wooded with ancient trees, are many historic old buildings, and a further attraction is provided by the large numbers of tame roe deer which live here. To the right of the entrance is Sarusawa Pond (circumference 1200ft/ 360m), with the five-story pagoda of the Kofukuji Temple reflected in its waters. At the northwest corner is the Uneme Shrine.
