"If you’re planning tours to Nara in 2026, there’s a remarkable story unfolding
in real time — and it begins, as so many of Nara’s best stories do, with the
deer. On March 17, 2026, a
Kansai TV news crew captured footage of a lone
Nara deer quietly resting in a field in Higashi-Osaka City — 19 kilometers away
from Nara Park, across the Ikoma Mountain range, and outside Nara Prefecture
entirely.
This isn’t a one-off sighting. Over the past several weeks, Nara’s famous shika
(deer) have been spotted in residential neighborhoods, stopping city buses in
their tracks, crossing mountain passes, and appearing in towns that have never
seen a wild deer in living memory. For anyone who loves Nara and is curious
about its iconic wildlife, the story is equal parts fascinating and sobering."
