In Nara, the deer are considered sacred animals and National Treasures ™ of Japan. For ¥150, you can buy deer crackers and feed the Treasures. It’s not clear what’s in the wafers, but the term crackers is very apt, since the deer are utterly addicted. As a result, you get a bunch of savvy deer who lurk in strategic locations and are able to identify cracker transactions at 100 yards.
