Yamanouchi Town is an area with a large number of wild animals.
In particular, Shiga Highlands is a habitat for antelope and deer, so you can be anywhere.

You may be surprised to see an antelope that is more than 1 meter long, but antelopes are not animals that can harm people. Most of the time, when they see people, they go 😊 back to the mountains
If you see one, keep an eye on it 🦌
