If you're exploring the Hiroshima area, you absolutely must add Okunoshima, affectionately known as "Rabbit Island," to your itinerary. Get ready for an experience that's as adorable as it is fascinating!

Just a short ferry ride from Tadanoumi Port, this small island is home to hundreds of friendly, free-roaming rabbits. As soon as you step off the ferry, you'll be greeted by a flurry of furry friends eager for a snack (remember to bring some rabbit-safe food with you!). It's an absolute joy to watch them hop around, interact with visitors, and even gently nibble food right from your hand. The sheer number of rabbits is incredible, creating a truly unique and heartwarming atmosphere.

Beyond the adorable bunnies, Okunoshima has a poignant history as a former poison gas factory site, with remnants of its past still visible. There's a museum that offers a sobering look into this darker side, providing a powerful contrast to the island's current charming inhabitants. It's a place that offers both delightful animal encounters and a moment for reflection. An unforgettable day trip that's perfect for families and anyone looking for a truly unique Japanese adventure!
