Rabbit lovers will love the so-called "Rabbit Island"

It is about a 15-minute boat ride from Tadanoumi Port in Takehara City. This small island, about 4km in circumference, was once called the "island that disappeared from the map" because of the presence of a poison gas factory. It is now designated as a national park and is known for its 500-600 rabbits, and many tourists from Japan and abroad visit the island to find healing. On the island, there are facilities such as Kyukamura Okunoshima, where you can enjoy hot springs, local cuisine, and more, as well as the Poison Gas Museum and Okunoshima Visitor Center. At Kyukamura Okunoshima, you can also enjoy camping, cycling, tennis, and fishing, and in the summer, the beach and outdoor pool are also open. This is an island where you can spend a relaxing time interacting with rabbits in the beautiful nature of the Seto Inland Sea.
