Japan Animal Adventure #1: DEER

Initial review of Japan: if you want to interact with any animals, come here and find a colony where they live.

Adam and I spent 5 days in Japan tagging along with our friends Romana and Brett as they hopped from city to city, checking out everything from rabbit islands to owl cafés (links to @theromanashow on Instagram). It was great to spend time with one of our best friends while seeing a whole new side of Asia.

Our second full day in Japan we went to Nara, a medium-sized city just over an hour via public transit from Osaka. Nara is known for a few things: gorgeous historic monuments and temples (including a UNESCO World Heritage Site), museums, a giant statue of Buddha, and an adorable little downtown area.

But we weren’t there for history or shopping. We were there for the FUCKING SACRED DEER.
