Hello, Deer!

It's 9 a.m in the morning and light rain outside. We decided to grab our umbrella and go to the station before the rain getting heavy. Today, we wanna to see deers in Nara-koen Park! Yes, its our first time go to nara and we are very excited that day. Nara is home to some of the country’s best temples and shrines, along with several fine gardens, museums and traditional neighborhoods. After taking one stop from Namba Station by JR Line (Namba-Osaka-Nara) and honestly, we didnt expect the weather in Nara is very windy (it supposed to be sunny in the weather app) so "i am okay" with my clothes hahaha.

We are heading straight to the Nara Park by bus from the station in exit gate and its feeder bus so its free! After 15 minutes, it suddenly raining outside, gladly we are bring our umbrella! and finally hello deer! :) look our happy faces!

Mas Ukha & The Deer

Well, in Nara Park they also sell some biscuits (shika simbei) for feed the deers but please be aware because sometimes the deers become agressive then they will follow you and trying to get all the biscuits from your pocket (so dont give the crackers to small children). That's why we choose to just take a picture with them. We didnt go to the Temple because mas ukha has another destination after this. Another best thing about Nara, we can try their super delicous strawberry mochi! Their mochi is very unique and the taste was so gooood~ you need to try it by yourself.

After take a quick lunch in Nara, we are heading to CoFuFun. I never heard before, but mas ukha promise to me that they have a play park, so i wont get bored while he takes picture of the building. Our trip is quite long, it takes 45 minutes by train to Tenri Station, and still its raining outside. I guess japan weather in early July is not summer anymore haha. CoFuFun is a public space with 6,000 square meter plaza that includes cafes, meeting spaces and play areas located in Tenri (Small city in Nara Area). Here's some pictures of CoFuFun :

That's my one day trip to Nara-koen Park and CoFuFun. I guess if you want not to get crowded, July is the best time for you eventhough the weather is windy and humid at the same time. I hope you can enjoy Nara as much as we do :)
