Rabbit Island is home to hundreds of friendly bunnies who approach tourists for food. Once this island was secluded as a secret base of the Imperial Japanese Army to produce lethal gas during WW II. And because of the poison gas development, it is thought that the test subjects included rabbits. After the war, the island restored peace and got well overrun by bunnies to become a Heaven of rabbits. Please enjoy being mobbed by adorable creatures and the beautiful nature there.

Rabbit Island (the official name of this island is Okunoshima) is home to hundreds of friendly bunnies who approach tourists for food. Once this island was very secluded as a secret base of the Imperial Japanese Army to produce lethal gas during WW Two. For that reason, the geographical location of this island was left off the map for about two decades and workers there were forced to keep it secret. It is not known when and how rabbits were introduced to this island. But because of the poison gas development, it is thought that the test subjects included rabbits. After the war, the island restored peace and got well overrun by bunnies to become a Heaven of rabbits.
Please enjoy being mobbed by adorable creatures and the beautiful nature there.
Without a precise pre-scheduled sightseeing activities, this option lets you customize your day with rabbits on the island. Please be ready for the long journey. It will take more than two and a half hours to reach that heaven by train and boat.

Mayumi is extremely experienced and knowledgeable She is passionate and wonderful to listened to when she tells about the culture, traditions and history of Japan and Hiroshima Visiting with her the Peace Memorial Museum and Park and the Atomic bomb Dome is a really touching experience We are thankful for the day spent with her
Dear Lucia, Thanks so much, too, for a delightful tour with your charming family. It looks very hot and humid again today, though. I hope you will enjoy your visit to Naoshima. The weather in Tokyo next week is not looking so good, but a blessed rain could be better than extreme heat. Thank you very much. Best, Mayumi
She did a great job with leading a tour in Miyajima for my guests. They were very happy with every experience during her tour and enjoyed exploring the area with her. Thank you Mayumi san!
Dear Aiko-san. It was my pleasure to share a good time with them. Thay you very much for the opportunity. Best, Mayumi
Mayumi did a great job of tailoring a tour to meet the needs of my family and we had a wonderful day. Her personal knowledge of Hiroshima made the trip that much better.
Dear Brian, Thank you very much for the great review. The Paris Olympics have started. Can't believe it's been already three years since the Tokyo Olympics were carried out without spectators due to COVID... Now Women's Soccer appears to be very exciting as well. I am sure your daughter is also enjoying it. Please root for the Japan women's soccer team, too, Lol. Best, Mayumi
Mayumi was very informative, she explained the museum and the peace memorial with a lot of knowledge, we learned a lot today, Mayumi is a very lovely lady
Dear William, I appreciate your swift response and excellent rating. Hope you continue to enjoy your journey in Japan. Bob voyage! Best Mayumi
