A herd of deer are shutting out visitors to a public park after taking over its entrance’s cooling station.

Nara Park, located in the city of Nara, Japan, at the foot of Mount Wakakusa, is one of the prefecture’s most popular tourist hotspots, especially in the summer months.

Established in 1880, it is one of the oldest parks in Japan.

But with the country experiencing some record-breaking temperatures this year, with highs of 40°C, the park council decided to set up some “cool down stations” to prevent heat exhaustion.

The stations are metal frames that stretch over walkways to cool off pedestrians passing underneath.

But they also seem to have been a big hit with wild deer, who famously roam freely through the grounds.

Someone else said: “The deer are exhausted in the summer. I’ll give it to you. But humans also want to be showered with mist.”
