We head to one of Japan’s top travel destinations to see the situation and take cafe recommendations from a deer.
Miyajima
Our reporter shares her day of soaking up a little bit of the local marine farming, global cuisine, and a walk through the past.

Symbol of Hiroshima is also a delicious sweet that travelers have loved for over a century.
It’s not just the deer you have to watch out for at Miyajima — there’s something else looking over your shoulder while you eat your lunch.
Visitors to one of the most beautiful places in Japan document the four-legged mafia’s adorable M.O.

The global coffeehouse chain has two stunning stores planned for these world-famous tourist spots.
