Spend evening peacefully on the lawn interacting with deer
About this spot
A park surrounding Todaiji and Kasuga Taisha, designated as a national natural monument famous for its wild deer. The spacious lawns are home to freely roaming wild deer, where visitors can feed them shika senbei (deer crackers) and take photos—a family-friendly experience that passes surprisingly quickly. As evening approaches, the sun softens and the entire park becomes pleasantly cool. Fukuuji Temple, where tonight's fireworks will be held, is located just east of this park.

2026年7月24日(金)、春日大社にほど近い高畑町の古刹・不空院で開催される地蔵盆にちなんだ夏祭りの花火です。打ち上げ数は公表されていませんが、社寺が立ち並ぶ静かなエリアで見上げる花火は、都市部の大規模な花火大会とはひと味違うしっとりとした趣があります。世界遺産の社寺をめぐった1日の締めくくりにふさわしい、古都奈良らしい夏の夜のひとときです。
