One of Nara's biggest charms is that in amongst all the amazing and never ending temple complexes masses of seriously cute deer are allowed to roam free, looking picturesque. They are seriously cute and totally placid, but you can buy special "deer crackers" to feed them for around a hundred yen. I don't know what's in them, but these deer go absolutely insane for the snacks and if they sense that you have any then you will be literally stampeded. In a more dangerous or volatile animal, this would be terrifying, but the Nara deer are so sweet, even when mauling you, that it's just hilarious.
