On the sprawling grounds of Nara Park, one of Japan’s largest, at the foot of Mount Wakakusa, millions of tourists come every year to see some very special attractions. Many come for the Tōdai-ji, a 1,300-year-old wooden temple complex that houses the world’s largest bronze Buddha statue, but the most popular draw in the park is its herd of tame sika deer.
