On June 27th, see? I told you. They do bow right before you. (First time hand-feeding the dear). Yes, they are everywhere here in Nara Deer Park, so once you get the knack of it, hesitance/timidness is all gone. You’re now all experts.
Good to have your pants pockets left emptied. Otherwise, they’d have sneaked around from behind, putting their noses into them to sn**ch away what was in there. 👍

On June 26th you have all made it to this lookout! Well done! A hot and muggy day today, yes, but it was well worth it coming all the way up.

Set against the backdrop of the Kiyomizu vista, this photo will make an ever-lasting memory of their Kyoto trip for sure on June 25th.

I guided a German man today. We visited Ginkakuji temple where he seemed to appreciate the Silver Pavilion from the bottom of his heart taking the pictures and asking the questions one after another.He seemed to really understand "wabi and sabi". We walked to Heianjingu shrine along the Philosopher's Path. After having light lunch ,we visited Kiyomizu temple and Fushimi Inari.

A gentleman from the United States had a wonderful time in the Ohara, north of Kyoto, on a rainy spring day in the rural atmosphere.
He enjoyed taking pictures of the fresh green along with moss on the ground in the temple area. He also enjoyed talking to friendly people
in the shop about local specialties and the history of each product and area. The scenery, history and atmosphere of Ohara must have
fascinated him. He said he would definitely come back.
