Note: Yes, I did realise I was adding Chinese background music in this video. No, I did not realise it would be a big problem and of course I didn't mean to offend anyone. I will do better in future videos :)
I am Japanese and I am certainly uncomfortable with Chinese-style background music, but if you have adopted it for your own sensibilities, I support it. And it is true that Japan in the Nara period had a lot of cultural exchange with China, and in that respect it was a period with a lot of Chinese colours.
Thank you so much! I saw one little girl constantly get nudged by the deer but she thought it was funny, I’m glad they don’t get too aggressive ☺️ thanks for watching!
The deer in Nara have been considered sacred since the 1300's. Some can be pushy but most are not. Respect that they are wild, are not a Disney attraction, and there are plenty of places to just peacefully observe them as a good guest. And please do be a good guest in Japan to anyone thinking of going.
They’re some very special and very lucky deer aren’t they ☺️ they definitely made our park walks feel magical - not a Disney attraction but just as special. Japan as a culture shows so much respect and it’s so important to show the same respect back 🙌🏼
Of course, the strawberry tart is not Japanese traditional treat, but it is a kind of common and popular one. Perhaps we don't have many flavors of tart because we know only straberry, blueberry or ,,,pumpkin? I'm sorry you got many comments of music. It is not important though.
No the area or deer don’t smell, when we went they were wet from the rain so they had a slight wet fur smell but nothing overwhelming or very noticeable :)
Its a huge, open space and the deer are wild. So its not a deer park. I detected no smell but I was there in December. The deer have been considered sacred since the 1300's.The deer roam at will and are not penned in anywhere.
Oh my goodness! The video of Nara Park, one of Japan's important cultural heritage sites, has Chinese-style music playing in the background. I understand that you have no ill intentions, but as a Japanese person, I don't feel very comfortable with it.
Japan's original country name NIPPON means "country under (or of) the sun," but the traditional name of the country when the capital was here in Nara was YAMATO (WA). YAMATO (Dai-WA) means "land of great peacefull harmony (between people and nature.)“ For about 1,300 years since the Emperor established the capital of Japan in Nara, deer have been traditionally cherished as messengers of the sacred gods of this island nation blessed with greenish nature, until the present day. Deer do not live in Nara Park all day, nor do they appear to be kept in captivity. They are wild deer. At night, the deer return to the mountains to sleep. During the day, they come down to the park to feed and relax. Their daily rotation seems to be like that. They are regarded as sacred animals, messengers of the gods, because of a legend that when one of the four gods enshrined at Kasuga Taisya Shrine in Nara moved from the shrine in Ibaraki to the land of Yamato (Nara), the deer protected and led the god along the way and brought him to this place. For 1,300 years, people have been told not to bully the deer, the messengers of the gods. The deer know from generation to generation, that humans think so and people did not harm them, so even though the city has changed its appearance, the wild deer still feel safe and comfortable living here and they live together with people without fear of them in Nara. We are often asked what we do with deer droppings. The deer in Nara Park are not domesticated, but have been wild deer since ancient times. They return to the mountains at night to sleep and come down to the park at sunrise. Their staple food is the grass and turf in the park. Deer droppings amount to 300 tons per year, but we humans don't care much about deer droppings. The reason is that the park is inhabited by a large number of insects called "dung beetles," which digest deer feces as their staple food. The dead bodies of the dung beetles are digested by earthworms and microorganisms and returned to the soil, where they become fertilizer for the deer's staple food, grass. Since ancient times, this place has been kept clean and free from terrible stench by natural circulation in its natural state, not artificially. The name of the country of Japan when the capital was located in Nara 1300 years ago was "YAMATO" or "WA". (Great harmony between human and nature.) As the name suggests, it is truly a city where man and nature have been in harmony for a long time. So every foreign visitors to Nara need to be aware of the deer in Nara Park are "wild deer", not zoo deer managed by the government. Therefore, it is dangerous to touch them or treat them as if they were domesticated pets. We don't know what parasites or diseases they may carry. It is very dangerous to kiss them directly. The right way to treat them is to live with them as if they were part of the natural scenery, like watching wild birds, like the people who have lived in Nara since ancient times. The Internet does not have a corrective function, so incorrect information is disseminated. There is no “Deer Park in Nara.” in Japan. The correct term is “Deer in Nara Park” or “Wild deer that congregate in Nara Park. Please do not be mistaken, and the risk of trouble with the deer is your own responsibility. because They are wild deer.

Because Japanese culture is very different from Chinese culture. And because that difference is very important in modern times
日本へようこそ！ お子様たち可愛い癒されます💞。 奈良公園でお子さんに対する鹿の突発的行動にヒヤリとしましたが何事もなく・・・今後もお子様の成長と御家族の素敵なTravel Vlogを楽しみに観て行こうと思います。
Thank you so much! I saw one little girl constantly get nudged by the deer but she thought it was funny, I’m glad they don’t get too aggressive ☺️ thanks for watching!
I wish you would have good days in Japan.

The background music is Chinese music. It's not Japanese music.
Yes I know, I made sure to research the songs before using but I thought the sound suited the video well ☺️
中国音楽は日本人には非常に違和感があります。
Why Chinese music?
@@マサラチャイ-o5j that makes sense, I didn't mean for it to be taken offensively but of course I will do better in the future.
@@TokunoriShibuya Honestly I thought it sounded fun and upbeat and interesting. Won't happen again :)
素敵な家族旅行ですね✈️日本は楽しめましたか？
Thank you! We had an amazing time 🙌🏼
🌸奈良の鹿さんに優しくしてくれてありがとうございます。Good job kids. 鹿は神の使いとして奈良市民に大切にされています。またのお越しをお待ちしております。良い旅を Have a nice trip. またね～ See you again.✨
Of course, the deer were very gentle when they weren’t tempted by the rice crackers and the girls had so much fun watching them 🥰
Your kids look so cute in their pink raincoats🙂
Aren’t they lovely! So cute in their puffer jackets and raincoats 🥰
Welcome to Jpapan. Deer in Nara Park are endemic to Japan.
They were beautiful 👏🏼
子供達が可愛❤
また 是非 日本🇯🇵にいらしてくださいね！
Thank you ☺️ We will be back one day!
BGMが中国の胡弓ですよ〜日本を代表するBGMは雅楽(gagaku)です。😊
Yes I know this, thank you :)
I'm sorry to say that we sometimes learn about the typical western attitude to another culture that all Asia is in one pot, and all are Chinese!

I agree! So lovely

Thank you! I think the tart was delicious either way! 🥰
Nice video and cute little girls but Chinese music.
It's not a deer park. It's a park where wild deer gather.
Yes I did word it wrong :)
その通りです。that is right
I have a sensory sensitive child. Does the deer park smell?
No the area or deer don’t smell, when we went they were wet from the rain so they had a slight wet fur smell but nothing overwhelming or very noticeable :)

Does your sister look like your mom? Does your sister look like your dad? It's a shame that it rained in Nara, but did you have fun?
I think Mila looks like her Dad and Cali looks like her Mum ☺️ yes of course, it was lovely in the rain. It made it feel more special in a way
鹿は神の使いとして1000年間人間に守られてきました。大事に接してくださいね。
