Day 5: Japan (Nara)

Today, it will be fewer activities for us.  It takes into consideration that we still have to pack for our return flight to the Philippines and it is predicted to rain by 6 PM.  We left the hotel later than the usual.  It is time to see the deer!!!

As soon as we arrived at Nara and left the train station, a few distance away is the Nara Park.  I did not expect that there are so many deer!  They move freely and has priority of the street (cars has to stop and wait for them to cross).

We bought food so we can feed them.  These deer know how to bow.  So, we (both the deer and I) bow first before I give them a treat.  LOL.  They slowly go near you, smelling your pockets, bags, etc. searching for food.

It is a calming experience for the deer have a calming aura--their gaze, their graceful movement.




We walked our way to the Todai-ji Temple.  Todai-ji Temple is a monumental symbol of early Japanese Buddhism, reflecting the intertwining of religion and politics, and showcasing remarkable architectural achievements.





For lunch, we walked our way to the Sakura Burger.  Ordered their SAKURA Blossom Oni-Tama and mango tropical juice.  👍


Crossed the street to the Higashimuki Shopping Street where the store Tabi-Ji can be found.  My niece plans to buy Tabi shoes.




We then went back to Osaka, passing by Don Quixote for additional souvenir purchases.  On the way back to the hotel, rain is starting.  Stopped at Precious Coffee Moments to try their coffee ice cream, ordered food-to-go at McDonald's.  This way, we don't have to go out again for dinner and pack at our leisure.
