This month, we’re loving Local Guide Jason Hywood’s review of Nara Park in Nara, Japan. It drew our attention because of its focus on the peculiar inhabitants of the park: the friendly and approachable deer.
In his review, Jason shares his experience of visiting the park. He starts with some useful information about how to reach it from different locations, like the airport and the major cities in the area. He then goes on to express his fascination with the park’s atmosphere, centuries-old temples, and its famous residents, the deer. Jason also shares some tips for those who wish to visit Nara Park just to see the deer, such as what their favorite snack is and how to approach them with respect.
The Local Guides Review of the Month is chosen based on a variety of criteria. We look for genuine, helpful reviews that include quality details about interesting places. Featured photos and reviews are taken by actual Local Guides around the world who have uploaded them to places on Google Maps.

Wow! Thank you @TsekoV for sharing this with all of us. This type of review is really helpful.
I am highly excited to nominate my this review for the review of the month. This is the review for the Research Complex inside the IISER Kolkata (a science and educational research institute in India) campus. Advanced scientific research in India is going on here in different laboratories. Every day lots of people (Visiting scientists from different countries, Research students, Vendors, Office staff, etc) comes here. Please have a look.
I’ve been to Nara twice in the past, and fully enjoyed both of my time there. I agree with the review and highly recommend anyone that gets a chance to visit Japan to make a trip here.
I’m intrigued of when these photos were taken though. The review was posted 2 months ago, but that’s pretty much after the pandemic started. The place looks awfully crowded and most aren’t wearing masks.
Wow @tsekoV I have only just found this. I did not even know I made review of the month. I am very grateful for this and glad that people were able to get some benefit from it.
. Thank you for highlighting and sharing it.
