"The Nara deer park had us swarmed by deer who bow down in gratitude for the biscuits they get," Tahira wrote. Writer and filmmaker Tahira Kashyap is soaking in the beauty of Japan. She recently explored the serene city of Kyoto.
Sharing glimpses from her journey, one heartwarming moment stood out—her sweet interaction with the deer at Nara Deer Park. In a viral video, Tahira is seen feeding the gentle creatures, and in a delightful gesture, one deer bows in appreciation. Reflecting on the experience, she expressed how it reminded her of the power of kindness and the beauty of simple moments.
Alongside the video, she also shared pictures of her traditional Japanese accommodations and the delicious meals she relished during her trip. Taking to Instagram, Kashyap wrote, “Kyoto was simple living at its best. Stayed at a Ryokan which is a traditional Japanese inn with tatami mats.
The same area turns into a bedroom at night with cozy bedding. The bath was a soothing hot tub made of bamboo. The food was traditional and simple too.
We went to Inari temple which was gorgeous. A long, beautiful hike of around 16k steps to the top through thousands of Tori’s (orange gates)." “Got my little one some Japanese hair accessories from a small shop at Senso-ji temple also got many rice cakes from there.
The Nara deer park had us swarmed by deer who bow down in gratitude for the biscuits they get. Something to learn from them too. A thankful heart.
My take away from the trip, compassi.
