Here are some of my pictures of Japanese deer, at both Miyajima and Nara park.
Also, I actually did hike all the way up that steep trail on Miyajima Island! It sure was a lot tougher than the picture at the beginning of the trail let on! I did it in winter as well, but there was no snow, only rain. (It wasn't raining when I started, but after about 45 minutes / half way up the trail it started a light rain.) Between the cold, damp weather and my sweating from climbing the trail, I caught a cold that I suffered with all through the rest of my trip to Kyushu. Only soaking in the healing hot waters of Dogo Onsen in Matsuyama on my way back finally cured me!
