Two destinations for our 7th day in Japan:
🔸 OSAKA CASTLE
– one of Japan’s famous landmark. A five-story castle with a history that dates back almost 450 years!! You can climb inside the castle to be able to catch sight of the surroundings from a top view. Surrounding the castle is vast area of lawn garden with plenty of Cherry trees 🌸 (pink tree that is famous in Japan especially on Spring). The castle is open for tourist and locals from 9:00 am until 5:00 pm, and the admission fee is 600 yen only per head.
🔸 NARA PARK
– a public park located at the foot of Mount Wakakusa, and one of the oldest park in Nara known for its bowing deer 🦌 . These cute animals are just roaming around the park freely. In fact you can feed them but only with deer cookies for only 200 jpy 💴 per 5 pieces 🍪 . Over time, the deers have learned to politely bow when asking food from the people (isn’t that cute?! 😍 ). And they are not afraid of the humans in such that humans are not allowed to hurt the deers or else they get fines or even go to jail. It would be a nice place for a family to bond and at the same time enjoy feeding the deers.
