Description Nara is famous for it's Sacred Deer. I thought they would all be concentrated in a park or an enclosure or something like that. Nope, there are just deer everywhere.

The Japanese believe that they are associated with the god of thunder, who is depicted as riding a deer.  theculturetrip.com/asia/japan/…

Are people encouraged to feed them or are the deer supposed to just be watched and not interacted with?

People are encouraged to feed them but only with special “Deer Cookies” or “Deer Biscuits” that are sold at numerous locations around Nara Park that are provided by the Nara Deer Preservation Society.
