Nara deer bumping one-day tour with beautiful route

When you come to Kansai, be sure to leave a day for Nara. The charm and playability of this city are really hard to refuse. I have been to Nara 6 times and have summarized a route suitable for city walks (p2 hand-drawn map). 【🚶‍♂️City Walk Route】 Yoshijoen → Todaiji Temple → Nara Park → Mizutani Tea House → Kasuga Taisha Shrine → Mount Wakakusa 【📸Check-in attractions】 [RoundNails]Ji Chengen (p11p12) This is a typical Japanese garden that can be walked around in just twenty minutes. It’s especially charming during the red foliage season and is free. 🚌Transportation: You can get there by taking bus 2/77/97 after exiting JR Nara Station or Kintetsu Nara Station. 🎫Tickets: Free ⌚Time: 20 minutes [RoundNails]Todaiji Temple A temple with a long history, almost entirely made of wood, you must not miss it. 🚌Transportation: 7 minutes’ walk from Jicheng Garden 🎫Ticket: 600 yen ⌚Time: 60 minutes [RoundNails]Nara Park 🚌Transportation: 5 minutes walk from Todaiji Temple 🎫Tickets: Free ⌚Time: 60 minutes (there are the most deer 🦌 here, so it’s not impossible to play for half a day) [RoundNails] Mizutani Tea House (p3) The cabin is surrounded by red leaves🍁. In autumn, the ground is covered with red leaves, and deer 🦌 often come and go. 🚌Transportation: 10 minutes’ walk from Nara Park 🎫Tickets: Free ⌚Time: 10 minutes [!]Tips: If you want to take a picture of the tea house and the deer🦌 without people in the same frame, you must do it before 9 o'clock in the morning. [RoundNails]Kasuga Taisha Shrine On the way from Mizutani Tea House to Kasuga Taisha Shrine, you can see rows of Japanese stone lanterns, and from time to time, deer playfully walk among the stone lanterns. 🚌Transportation: 5 minutes’ walk from Mizutani Tea House 🎫Ticket: 700 yen ⌚Time: 60 minutes [RoundNails] Wakakusayama (p13) One of the most underrated attractions in Nara and even Kansai. It is recommended to leave the sunset time to Mt. Wakakusa and overlook the sunset of Nara Castle with the deer🦌. 🚌Transportation: It takes 1 minute to walk from Mizutani Tea House to the first level of Mt. Wakakusa, and it takes about 30 minutes to climb to the third level of the top of the mountain. 🎫Ticket: 150 yen ⌚Time: 120 minutes [!]Tips: Another less labor-intensive way to play is to take a taxi directly from in front of Nara Park to the Miemen (about 3,000 yen), and then go all the way downhill to the 1st Cure. ⚠️Important Notice Mount Wakakusa in Nara will be closed from December 9, 2024 to March 4, 2025. Those who come to Nara during this period should not run away in vain. [[!]TIPS] 1. Remember to buy deer biscuits 🍪 (200 yen per pack) in advance at the entrance of Nara Park. 2. Safety comes first when you go out to play, and try to stay away from deer with long antlers. In less than an hour on Mt. Wakakusa, three tourists were gored by p13 the deer.
