2015-04-26 Nara
Nara is around 1 hour away from Kitasenri Station.
Woke up pretty early for this Nara deer encountering!
Mascot of Nara?!
Nah… this is the real one
These well-fed arrogant deer is not even facing the camera.
For lunch, we decided to come to wait in line for an hour under the heat for this famous pot rice.
Shizuka 志津香
The food was good, but I personally think the wait was a bit too long.
Todaiji 東大寺 
Little Red Riding God! (Binzuru Pindola Bharadvaja)
Apparently, he loves to be touched. 😉 If you touch his body, it would bring you good luck.
Quote from the sign:
“Pindola was one of the sixteen arahats, who were disciples of the budda. Pindola is said to have excelled in the mastery of occult powers. It is commonly believed in Japan that when a person rubs a part of the image of Binzuru and then rubs the corresponding part of his own body, his aliment there will disappear.”
The deer really hates me. I got food in my hand, but none of them seem interested… Oh well…
