Talking to the village chief the other day, I heard that people here in Arisaka get frequent visits from herds of deer. They come down from the forest, to forage and it seems they are not too scared of humans.
Locals don't enjoy them too much - they make dirt on the streets and eat produce from the fields.
According to him, other wildlife also includes Tanuki (Japanese badger, Bears (very occasionally) but fortunately no monkeys.
If you as one of our guests have a chance to see them, please send us a photo!

Nice blog and great concept. My husband and I live in Tochigi and whenever we go to Tokyo people ask "How can you live out there?"
It's the life! Close enough to the city to enjoy it but in beautiful surroundings everyday.Our house is a refurbished "character house" it's got great fuinki!
No deers in my backyard though...
