| In the streets of Nara |
|
|
|
|
|
| Deers walk freely in most part of the city centre and the temple area. They are thought to be god messengers. |

|
| These statues represent the guardians of the temple against evil. Only ... now it is them being protected. |

|
| Nara has many temples as it is considered a sacred ground |
