The closed imperial palace in Kyoto.
Deers roaming the streets of Nara
The Stags lose their horns for the safety of visitors.
Deers like white chocolate too!
Poor boy getting chased by deers
Hansen and his pet deer in front of Todaiji
The great Todaiji of Nara
And its Dobutsuden which is 14m tall!

Japanese and their well known good service. I was waiting at STARBUCKS for the staff to gift-wrap my newly purchased coffee tumbler. Their service went 1 step further. Knowing that the weather was cold, the barista offered us a cup of freshly brewed coffee each. Thumbs up to good service.
Today, we also went to public bath. The Japs sure know how to enjoy. Eat good food, have great hot baths. Amazingly jumping alternately into scalding baths and freezing baths made me feel so relaxed after that. Finish it off with a shower which sprays warm water from the walls, and showers you with ice water from the top. Fantastic... but the Yakuzas were scary... haha
