Join me in the magical NARA, Japan, the mystical Japanese town where 1,300 wild deer literally BOW to you-- we take the magical AONIYOSHI limited express train, and see the fasting mochi pounding in the world! Nara Deer park is a short daytrip from either Osaka or Kyoto-- we tell you how to get there, why these sacred deer have meant so much to the tradition and culture of Japan for centuries. Come to see the fastest mochi pounders at Nakatanidou, and eat some delicious fresh authentic mochi with us!
We also have a video on Kyoto and Toyko in our Japan series that I think you will love-- going to wild cafes, and seeing everything this amazing country has to offer.
