About 4 kilometers in the east and west, 2 kilometers in the south and north of the park, can be seen everywhere in groups of sika deer, and they are close contact is a great pleasure for visitors to this. They feed silently in the grass, play with each other, or come up to you and bend their heads and rub against you.
