At the Deer Park located in a corner of the shrine grounds, you can view deer up close as they spend their time leisurely. By purchasing feed at the shop, you can enter the enclosure and even touch the deer. The building serving as a souvenir shop and feed sales point is currently undergoing reconstruction, making it a popular spot to visit during a break from worship.
