Oh Dear, Or Should That Be Oh Deer!

if you are travelling to Nara in Japan,

all photographs by mareiii04, to visit the temples and parks they have there, be sure to get yourself in deer mood by waiting for the deer train, to see another attraction in the parks the stunning dear population, and to get your familiar with them try to hop onboard the Kintetsu Railway’s new Deer Train,

the new deer train is decked out with spotted seats, 

and deer illustrations, the artwork was all custom-created by Gemi, a Tokyo-based illustrator who grew up nearby,

the train even has deer straps for holding on too if the deer seating is all taken, the deer train began operating late last year in December 2022 but here is the thing, they run alongside normal trains too so boarding one will take a bit of luck, but @mareiii04 was lucky enough to board one recently and snapped these photos, the Deer Train is operated by Kintetsu Railways and runs between Nara and Sannomiya Stations, what a great way to start your day out in one of the parks.
