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, compassion, cleanliness, mutual respect and calmness," Tahira Kashyap added.

Tahira Kashyap’s post received a lot of love, not only from her followers but also from Bollywood celebrities like Twinkle Khanna, producer Guneet Monga, Krishika Lulla and Tisca Chopra, among others, who praised her post.

In the previous post, Ayushmann Khurrana’s wife shared moments from her time in Tokyo. Even though there was a language barrier, she found Tokyo an exciting destination, especially for those travelling with kids. She also mentioned that every year, she takes a trip with her two children and this time, she chose Japan for their adventure.

Tahira Kashyap wrote, “Sharing few details from my quick trip. Pre-requisite give your children their own handbags with their essentials in it. Makes them accountable. I had lip balm, toiletries, wipes and plenty of tissues and a snack in each of their bags. We love to walk so just sports shoes would be fine. Sensoji temple was lovely with its cute shops along. Had lovely sweet potato dish called imokin and taiyaki (fish shaped dessert with custard filling p.s it’s just a shape, it’s vegetarian). Disney became fun because of those handbags the kids carried for themselves."

She suggested that anime lovers should explore Akihabara. She also recommended Ichiran Ramen, a great spot for enjoying delicious ramen. Her children had fun playing Hado in Odaiba. During their trip, they experienced everything from cherry blossoms and sunshine to snowfall. She also advised travellers to download Google Translate on their phones to make communication easier.
