From Osaka Shinsaibashi to Nara to see how the fawn should go

1.Itinerary: It is recommended to depart in the morning hours to have enough time during the day to enjoy the nature of Nara and feed the fawn. From Shinsaibashi Osaka, it is possible to take the subway or bus to Kintetsu Nara Station, which takes around 40 minutes.

2.Access: The main modes of transportation from Osaka to Nara include the JR 'Yamato Line' and the Kintetsu 'Nara Line'.

If coming from Namba Station in Osaka, both costs 560 yen and the journey takes around 50-60 minutes. Kintetsu's station is closer to Nara Park and Kasuga Taisha Shrine, making it a good choice because it doesn't make much of a difference, saving you time on foot.

3.Accommodation: There are many quality hotels and guesthouses to choose from in Nara.

If you're looking for a traditional Japanese stay, you can choose an inn near Nara Park so you can walk to the park the next morning to feed the deer. If you're looking for something a little more modern, you can choose a hotel in downtown Nara, but you may need to take public transport to get to Nara Park. It is advisable to book your accommodation online in advance, especially during the tourist season.

Overall, it's a journey full of natural beauty. It should be noted that when feeding the fawn, you must pay attention to your own safety and do not touch the fawns at will, so as not to be accidentally injured by them.

You can take the subway Midosuji Line to Namba for one stop, transfer to the Kintetsu Nara Line, Kintetsu is about 560 yen, and it runs for about 36 minutes, and there is also the subway to go to Namba Station without taking a walk, which is very close anyway; Get off at Kintetsu Nara Station and walk for about 10 minutes to Nara Park.
