Every so often, railway operators in Japan gown their trains up with eye-catching adornments for particular promotions like new film releases or anime anniversaries.
Nonetheless, down in Japan’s historical capital of Nara, there’s a practice that’s at present catching everybody’s consideration, because it’s stuffed with photographs of deer.
Entering into certainly one of these carriages is like stepping right into a park, the place deer frolic amongst the greenery and mix into the surroundings. The ground seems to be scattered with fallen petals as properly, conjuring up idyllic photographs of deer stress-free beneath the sakura throughout cherry blossom season, very similar to we noticed on this video which went viral for its magnificence in 2020.
The explanation for the deer takeover is as a result of this practice, often called the “Narashika Practice” (Nara Deer Practice) runs on the Kintetsu Line between Kintetsu Nara and Kobe Sannomiya stations. Nara is legendary for its free-roaming deer, which collect in herds round Nara Park, and this practice ideas its hat to the sacred animals that draw hundreds of vacationers to the area yearly.

The particular practice debuted in Japan on December 5, and since then, it’s been bringing smiles to the faces of everybody who rides it, particularly these touring within the precedence seat part, who get to actually rub shoulders with the animals.
The seats on the practice are cleverly designed to appear like deer fur, making them appear further comfortable, and the hand straps that cling from the overhead rails all through the carriages are within the form of cute deers.
Twitter consumer Marei (@mareiii04) snapped the above photographs of the practice on a latest journey, and after sharing the pictures on-line, the tweet shortly went viral, garnering over 1,000,000 views in simply 4 days.
▼ Marei captioned the tweet with “The practice to Nara, isn’t it past cute!?!?“
Folks on-line readily agreed, leaving feedback like:
“That is means too cute!”
“So cute — I want there have been trains like this in different areas as properly!”
“I like how in case you sit in entrance of the deer it’ll appear like the horns are rising out of your head!”
“Omg I wanna trip this practice!”
“You have been fortunate to seek out the Narashika!”
It’s true that Marei was fortunate to come across this practice — regardless of having taken the practice to Nara eight instances this 12 months, this was the primary time they have been in a position to trip it. Because the trains run randomly, you by no means know after they’re going to look, so subsequent time you’re visiting Nara, maybe for the weird summertime ‘shikadamari’ deer gathering phenomenon, you’ll want to hold a watch out for the weird practice stuffed with deer.
