Hundreds of tourists were bitten while trying to feed the wildlife.

Nara Park, established in 1300, is one of the oldest public parks in Japan. Spanning approximately 502 hectares, it stretches about 4 km from east to west and 2 km from south to north. The park is home to around 1200 deer, a sacred symbol and a great treasure of the city. The deer in the park hold sacred significance, associated with the gods.

This year, visitors are urged to follow the deer's sign language if they wish to feed them. Authorities and park management have put up signs in Japanese, English, and Chinese, instructing tourists and locals alike on how to properly feed the deer and avoid angering them.

When approaching these wild animals, visitors should offer them the food immediately. Additionally, after the animal has finished eating, visitors should hold out both hands to let the animal know the food is gone. These signs are placed right at the food stalls. The signs also clearly state that children must be accompanied by an adult.

Yuichiro Kitabata, the person in charge of Nara Park, said: "They are wild animals, and they will get angry if provoked. For example, if you try to restrain them while they are eating, you might get bitten."
