🔍 Product Introduction
◾️ Nara (Deer Park, Todai-ji Temple) *Todai-ji Temple admission fee (Adult: 800 yen / Child: 400 yen) not included
A country where humans and deer coexist. The deer have lovely appearances, are generally gentle, and roam freely.
You can interact with the deer by purchasing senbei (200 yen) to feed them. Additionally, Todai-ji Temple is home to the Great Buddha and has encapsulated Buddhist faith from ancient times to the present, exerting a vast influence on Japanese culture.
◾️ Arima Onsen (Stroll through the hot spring village, free time at the hot springs) * Free time for lunch & free time
Arima Onsen is a hot spring town that will relieve the fatigue of your trip to Japan. It is a place widely known for its substantial water flow and excellent quality of hot springs.
The Golden Bath (Kin-no-yu), which is yellowish-brown due to iron and salt, and the Silver Bath (Gin-no-yu), which is colorless and contains radium, are famous as the signature baths!
The hot springs are optional, and you are free to sightsee. (If you plan to enjoy a hot spring bath at Arima Onsen, we recommend bringing your own towel.)
There are many hidden gems in charming little shops.
◾️ Kobe Meriken Park (Memorial Park)
A vast park created by reclaiming land from the southern coast of Kobe Port, a place frequently visited by locals looking to relax or go on dates.
On weekends, events such as performances and flea markets are held, providing interesting things to see.
"Memorial Park" inside Meriken Park is a place that has left the appearance of Kobe Port, which was destroyed by the Great Kobe Earthquake, unrestored. The streetlights leaning to the left and right, along with the cracked and warped concrete floor, make one feel the power of the earthquake once again.
◾️ Kobe Harborland: Viewing Kobe Port and Shopping
Harborland is a representative tourist attraction in Kobe. Centered around Mosaic, Harborland features the Anpanman Museum, Port Tower, and a Ferris wheel, allowing visitors to enjoy shopping as well as beautiful harbor views.

FAQ
Entry to Nara Deer Park itself is generally free, allowing visitors to roam freely and interact with the deer. However, some specific attractions within or adjacent to the park, such as temples like Todai-ji Temple or museums, may require a separate admission fee. You can conveniently arrange your visit as part of a tour through KKday, which often includes transportation and organized entry to various sites, providing a hassle-free experience.
Nara Deer Park offers a truly unique experience due to its wild sika deer that roam freely and interact with visitors. You can purchase 'shika senbei' (deer crackers) to feed them, leading to memorable close encounters. The park is also home to historical temples like Todai-ji Temple, creating a blend of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and engaging animal interaction.
The deer at Nara Deer Park are generally active and receptive to interaction throughout the day. However, mornings (around 8 AM to 10 AM) and late afternoons (around 3 PM to 5 PM) are often ideal. During these times, the park is typically less crowded, and the deer may be more eager for crackers as they haven't been fed as frequently by visitors.
Nara Deer Park is famous for its large population of friendly sika deer, considered sacred messengers. Beyond the deer, the park encompasses significant cultural sites like Todai-ji Temple, which houses a giant Buddha statue, and Kofuku-ji Temple with its five-story pagoda. The natural landscape with its serene ponds and pathways also adds to its charm and historical significance.
Yes, Arima Onsen is well-known for its public hot spring facilities. Two prominent public bathhouses are Kin no Yu (Golden Spring) and Gin no Yu (Silver Spring), offering unique mineral-rich waters. They typically operate from morning until late afternoon or early evening, with specific closing days for maintenance. Visitors can check their individual operating hours and entry information upon arrival or on their official websites for the most current details.
Arima Onsen is one of Japan's oldest and most renowned hot spring towns, famous for its two distinct types of therapeutic waters: 'Kin no Yu' (Golden Spring), rich in iron and salt, giving it a golden-brown hue, and 'Gin no Yu' (Silver Spring), containing radium and carbonate. Its reputation stems from these unique mineral compositions, believed to have various health benefits, attracting visitors for centuries.
Proper etiquette at Arima Onsen, and Japanese onsen in general, includes thoroughly washing your body before entering the bath. Do not wear swimsuits or underwear in the main bathing area; nudity is customary. Long hair should be tied up, and towels should not be dipped into the bathwater. Maintain a quiet and respectful atmosphere for all guests.
When feeding deer at Nara Deer Park, only use 'shika senbei' (deer crackers) sold by vendors within the park. Avoid feeding them any other human food. Offer the crackers gently and considerately. Be aware that deer can be assertive, especially when they smell food, so hold the crackers firmly and display empty hands after feeding to signal you have no more.
