You Can Watch a French Horn Player Summon Hundreds of Deer in Japan During This Magical Event

"Nara Park, located in Nara, Japan, is famous for its population of more than 1,000 tame deer, which are considered a national treasure. The park hosts a yearly event known as the 'Deer Gathering' where deer are attracted by the sound of a French horn playing Beethoven’s 6th Symphony Pastoral. This tradition, beginning in 1862, sees deer gather to be treated with acorns after being beckoned by the music. The deer have historically been protected due to their cultural significance, and harming them was once punishable by death." - Travel + Leisure Editors
