I am Japanese and I am certainly uncomfortable with Chinese-style background music, but if you have adopted it for your own sensibilities, I support it. And it is true that Japan in the Nara period had a lot of cultural exchange with China, and in that respect it was a period with a lot of Chinese colours.

Because Japanese culture is very different from Chinese culture. And because that difference is very important in modern times

Even people who come to Japan, see Japanese temples, and say they like Japan don't make an effort to understand the differences between China and Japan. That's White Australiaism😂

I feel that people from overseas who come to Japan from across many oceans and distant skies often do not remember what things unique to Japan are like. However, the history, culture, fashion and music of Japan and China are completely different. These two countries have gone their separate ways from early on. Let me put it simply so that people living in Australia can understand. Japan and China are more than 400 km apart. In other words, matching Chinese music to the buildings and landscape of Japan is like matching the landscape of the town of Darwin in the Northern Territory of Australia to the traditional music of Selaru Island in the Tanimbar Islands of Indonesia, more than 400 km away, and saying "What? Australia and Indonesia are two countries that are very close to each other, aren't they? Australia is so similar to Indonesia that it's hard to distinguish between the two. Isn't Australia part of Indonesia? If they have been trading and interacting with each other for so long, aren't Australia and Indonesia like brothers?" It is like innocently saying. Thus, thinking of Japan and China as the same country is like thinking of Australia and Indonesia as the same country. Thinking of the Japanese and Chinese as the same people is the same as thinking of Australians and Indonesians as the same people. Naturally, people from the two countries would feel very uncomfortable and saddened by such an analogy if they actually heard it. This is the same feeling Japanese people have when they see Chinese music being used in a video introducing Japan by a foreigner visiting Japan. They say they are sad because they feel as if people overseas are unaware that Japan has traditional instruments and traditional musical scales that have developed uniquely within Japan, or that Japanese traditions have been ignored by people overseas.
Thank you so much! I saw one little girl constantly get nudged by the deer but she thought it was funny, I’m glad they don’t get too aggressive ☺️ thanks for watching!

The deer in Nara have been considered sacred since the 1300's. Some can be pushy but most are not. Respect that they are wild, are not a Disney attraction, and there are plenty of places to just peacefully observe them as a good guest. And please do be a good guest in Japan to anyone thinking of going.

Of course, the strawberry tart is not Japanese traditional treat, but it is a kind of common and popular one. Perhaps we don't have many flavors of tart because we know only straberry, blueberry or ,,,pumpkin? I'm sorry you got many comments of music. It is not important though.

Its a huge, open space and the deer are wild. So its not a deer park. I detected no smell but I was there in December. The deer have been considered sacred since the 1300's.The deer roam at will and are not penned in anywhere.

Japan's original country name NIPPON means "country under (or of) the sun," but the traditional name of the country when the capital was here in Nara was YAMATO (WA). YAMATO (Dai-WA) means "land of great peacefull harmony (between people and nature.)“ For about 1,300 years since the Emperor established the capital of Japan in Nara, deer have been traditionally cherished as messengers of the sacred gods of this island nation blessed with greenish nature, until the present day. Deer do not live in Nara Park all day, nor do they appear to be kept in captivity. They are wild deer. At night, the deer return to the mountains to sleep. During the day, they come down to the park to feed and relax. Their daily rotation seems to be like that. They are regarded as sacred animals, messengers of the gods, because of a legend that when one of the four gods enshrined at Kasuga Taisya Shrine in Nara moved from the shrine in Ibaraki to the land of Yamato (Nara), the deer protected and led the god along the way and brought him to this place. For 1,300 years, people have been told not to bully the deer, the messengers of the gods. The deer know from generation to generation, that humans think so and people did not harm them, so even though the city has changed its appearance, the wild deer still feel safe and comfortable living here and they live together with people without fear of them in Nara. We are often asked what we do with deer droppings. The deer in Nara Park are not domesticated, but have been wild deer since ancient times. They return to the mountains at night to sleep and come down to the park at sunrise. Their staple food is the grass and turf in the park. Deer droppings amount to 300 tons per year, but we humans don't care much about deer droppings. The reason is that the park is inhabited by a large number of insects called "dung beetles," which digest deer feces as their staple food. The dead bodies of the dung beetles are digested by earthworms and microorganisms and returned to the soil, where they become fertilizer for the deer's staple food, grass. Since ancient times, this place has been kept clean and free from terrible stench by natural circulation in its natural state, not artificially. The name of the country of Japan when the capital was located in Nara 1300 years ago was "YAMATO" or "WA". (Great harmony between human and nature.) As the name suggests, it is truly a city where man and nature have been in harmony for a long time. So every foreign visitors to Nara need to be aware of the deer in Nara Park are "wild deer", not zoo deer managed by the government. Therefore, it is dangerous to touch them or treat them as if they were domesticated pets. We don't know what parasites or diseases they may carry. It is very dangerous to kiss them directly. The right way to treat them is to live with them as if they were part of the natural scenery, like watching wild birds, like the people who have lived in Nara since ancient times. The Internet does not have a corrective function, so incorrect information is disseminated. There is no “Deer Park in Nara.” in Japan. The correct term is “Deer in Nara Park” or “Wild deer that congregate in Nara Park. Please do not be mistaken, and the risk of trouble with the deer is your own responsibility. because They are wild deer.
