Nara-the ancient capital

The big pagoda in Nara. I think it is the second tallest in Japan. Only shorter than the one in Kyoto by a couple inches.

The deer were EVERYWHERE. They were not shy at all. In fact, some people tried to run away. Human=food in their minds. Since they are considered sacred, the park in Nara allows them to roam wherever they want. The park is home to around 1,000 deer.In front of Todai-ji, the great hall housing the colossal bronze statue of the Buddha Vairocana, otherwise known as Daibutsu.
